Many houses speak "emotional Spanish," but this really sings opera - in any language. This outstanding 2-story historic Spanish home is one of the crown jewels of Glendale. Built in 1929 in sought-after Glenoaks Canyon by Bertha Richter, known to be a silent film actress. Dubbed by its owners as "La Casa Grande,'' it offers a large dramatic living room with soaring 22-foot ceilings and high arched windows looking out onto canyon views. The living room features a Juliet balcony which has been used for vocal concerts. It features a formal dining room, 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and sun room used for entertainment. The second-floor bathroom includes custom-designed Moroccan tile walls, floor, and shower, and has a Jacuzzi tub for your full relaxation. The exterior and interior walls have been recently painted. There are oak hardwood floors on the main living area and Brazilian cherry on the upper floors. Kitchen updates include granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a gourmet 42'' professional stove with dual ovens. The two upstairs bedrooms have walk-in closets, but the storage doesn't stop there. The space provides additional space, and lots more storage is available adjacent to each of the two-car garages. The side yard provides a beautiful paseo for dining and container gardening. The front garden is planted with drought tolerant plantings. HVAC includes central heat and air as well as a Quiet-Cool whole-house fan system. The house is bolted to foundation, has updated electrical, copper plumbing, and rebuilt chimney. On-demand tankless water heater provides endless hot water and reduces your gas bills. Come see this enchanting home with designer-inspired design touches.
