2529 Hermosita Dr, Glendale, CA 91208

While we don't have castles in America, this 5-bedroom, 4-bathroom beauty offers the same sprawling majesty with a contemporary freshness. A wide private driveway leads to an accommodating 3-car garage with a convenient laundry nook. Mounting the intricately placed stairs allows for the first stunning look at the panoramic views that open up from every direction of this elegant home. Beyond the security of the intricately worked metal gated entry, a rustic door opens upon an airy 2,300-sqft floorplan (that expands to approximately 2,800-sqft when figuring in the detached 1-bedroom guest house with its own living room and bathroom). The lofty ceilings with soaring archways and warm treated hardwood flooring contribute to the fluid, intuitive nature of the floorplan, creating a natural flow through a living room punctuated by Marvin Casement windows peering out on mountain vistas, a quaint dining nook, and a gourmet kitchen with Kohler fixtures distinguished by rich cabinetry of stained wood with glass faces, glistening granite countertops, and a full array of built-in appliances. The cozy living quarters are supported by walk-in closets, offering a wealth of storage. The primary bedroom boasts the additional advantage of an en-suite bathroom with a heavenly jetted Jason micro-silk tub and Kohler steam shower that can relax the kinks out of the hardest days. It also offers private balcony access with the legendary views so characteristic of this home. Other highlights of the main property include an exercise room and a bonus office room that can easily be converted into a bedroom, studio, or game room and a temperature-controlled wine cellar! This regal residence is situated on a colossal 23,376-sqft lot of land allowing plenty of room for the massive patio, along with a spa and above-ground pool on its own dedicated decking. The home is walking distance from the cozy neighborhood shopping and dining district of Montrose, and also just minutes from downtown Glendale and all of its fantastic shopping and dining experiences including the Glendale Galleria, Americana at Brand, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Porto's, and more.
