In the heart of the pending Bellehurst Historic District of Glendale's Rossmoyne, atop a rolling grassy knoll, surrounded by lush landscaping sits this romantic yet distinguished two-story Spanish Revival home. Anchored by a turret entry and featuring classic design elements such as a red tile roof, a wood balcony and stained glass windows this 99 year old house retains much of its original glory. The grand foyer-in-the-round has colorful original hex tiles and opens through an arch into the dramatic Living Room that features a south facing arched picture window, wood ceiling with exposed stenciled beams, a gas fireplace, period lighting, original hardwood floors and built-in bookshelves. The bright Dining Room has a built-in dry bar, an iron chandelier and lots of windows including the double French doors out to the pergola covered patio. The Kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite counters atop dark wood cabinets that house stainless appliances. The adjoining Breakfast Nook gets beautiful morning light and opens onto a charming front patio. The home's Powder Room and Laundry are also part of the Kitchen. The second floor has three bedrooms including the huge private Primary Suite that has a spacious walk-in closet and lovely updated hex shaped full Bathroom in the turret. Across the hall is the second Bedroom that also has a large walk-in closet and views of the lush backyard. The third Bedroom features built-in bookshelves and access to the wood balcony with treetop views toward downtown Glendale. The two bedrooms are separated by a period Jack & Jill full Bathroom. Out back, the yard has been thoughtfully terraced to create a large flat area off the back of the house which features a turf play area as well as a lushly landscaped patio anchored by a tranquil tiered water feature. The upper terrace affords a quiet place to relax and soak up some sun surrounded by more rejuvenating plantings. Packaged together the many features of this special home combine to create a magical experience 100 years in the making. Near to local shopping including TJ's, Ralph's, Starbucks, Equinox as well as the 2, 5 and 134 fwys.

Condition Rating
Good

This 1926 Spanish Revival home is move-in ready, featuring a tastefully updated kitchen with granite counters, dark wood cabinets, and stainless steel appliances. The bathrooms, including the primary suite's hex-tiled bath and the Jack & Jill, are also updated and well-maintained, blending period charm with modern functionality. While the property is nearly 100 years old, the visible renovations appear to be within the last 5-15 years, ensuring a comfortable living experience without immediate renovation needs. The original hardwood floors and architectural details are well-preserved. The primary drawback preventing an 'excellent' score is the property's age, which implies potential for older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly mentioned as updated, and the lack of a specified cooling system.

Lack of Mentioned Cooling System: The description does not specify the presence of a central air conditioning or cooling system, which could be a significant drawback and potential expense for buyers in the Glendale climate.
Significant Discrepancy in Estimated Value: The listing price is substantially higher than the provided property estimation, which might raise questions about market value and could impact buyer perception or financing.
