Property is move-in ready.
This 1929 Spanish home is in move-in ready condition, featuring a high-end, recently renovated primary bathroom with modern tiling, a glass-enclosed shower, and a freestanding tub. The rest of the home, including the kitchen with its character-appropriate tilework and the living areas with original peg-and-groove flooring, is exceptionally well-maintained. While the kitchen and some systems reflect a more traditional or slightly older update style rather than a full contemporary renovation, the overall quality, pristine surfaces, and updated fixtures place it firmly in the 'good' category.
This 1929 Spanish home features exceptional original details, including cathedral ceilings with hand-painted stenciling and peg-and-groove flooring, offering rare authentic character.
Situated in the prestigious Rossmoyne historic district, the property is walking distance to Nibley Park and premium retailers like Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.
The home successfully blends historic charm with modern functionality, featuring an updated kitchen, a spacious family room, and a primary suite with direct backyard access.
Given the home's 1929 construction, buyers should anticipate potential maintenance needs associated with older electrical, plumbing, or foundation systems typical of historic properties.
With a lot size of approximately 6,571 square feet, the outdoor space may feel limited for buyers seeking a large private estate or significant expansion potential.
Set within a prime pocket of Glendale's historic Rossmoyne district, this Spanish home has been carefully updated while preserving its authentic character. Everything feels in step with the home's layout and original detailing, giving it a sense of consistency that carries from room to room. The living room is the defining space. A wood cathedral ceiling spans overhead, supported by exposed beams with original hand-painted stenciling. The same detailing continues onto the fireplace mantel. Peg-and-groove wood flooring adds texture underfoot, while an arched picture window brings in natural light throughout the day. The dining room sits just beyond, connected through gentle archways that keep the spaces open while still defined. It's positioned in a way that makes both everyday use and larger gatherings feel easy. The kitchen is well laid out with ample cabinetry, colorful tilework, and a breakfast area that brings in morning light. At the rear of the home, the family room adds a second living space and opens directly to the backyard. A true family room, it's well suited for movie nights and relaxed evenings, with direct access to the backyard. Three bedrooms are arranged along a central hallway, all well proportioned and flexible in use. The primary offers a comfortable footprint and storage, while the additional bedrooms work just as well for guests or workspace. The main bathroom has been updated in recent years, and a second bath adds convenience. The backyard is simple and fun, with a paved patio, a stretch of grass, and mature landscaping. A well-established avocado tree provides shade and a natural focal point. Rossmoyne is known for its gently curved streets, mature trees, and collection of well-preserved character homes, giving the neighborhood a distinct identity within Glendale. Blocks away from Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Fish King and the heart of the neighborhood; Nibley Park, it's the kind of setting where homes feel established and streets feel quiet, while still within easy reach of everything Glendale has to offer.
