This is one of a handful of great grand homes in Glendale’s very sought after Montecito Park neighborhood. In 1932, L.V. Lawhead selected this parcel of over 16,000sf on which to build this elegant two-story Monterey. It has been a joy for the current Owners during their 52 years of stewardship of this estate. A brick path and stairs lead through a shroud of mature trees to the welcoming front door of this four bedroom of over 3,700sf. The formal entry opens to the grand formal living room with a true wood beam ceiling, gorgeous oak floors, multi-pane windows and a beautiful fireplace. The entry also opens to the private wood paneled office that has its own fireplace as well. The bright kitchen opens to the family room and a wet bar that overlooks the rear grounds. This first floor includes a large formal dining room and a guest bath as well. Upstairs there are four bedrooms, three baths, and another home office. The primary suite enjoys a large bedroom with its own sitting area/study with a view, its own primary bath, and a private bridge that leads to the upper rear yard. There is also a hidden stairwell off the entry that leads to yet another surprising family room with its own gorgeous fireplace and egress to the side yard. The rear grounds have a large outdoor entertaining area, a piano shaped pool, and extensive grounds for gardening and elevated sitting areas on which to simply enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Just a few of the features include an updated 200amp electrical panel, authentic Spanish tile roof, a detached two car garage, and the award-winning schools of this special neighborhood.
