Something magical happens when you pass through the front gate of this truly one-of-a-very-few Spanish view home. You're transported to another place, to another time. Resting on a lush private promontory in the foothills of Glendale, this romantic red-tile-roofed Spanish presents Downtown LA, jet-liner and SF Valley views and overflows with authentic original charm and tasteful modern updates. From the moment one passes through the charming wood gate, big tall trees and dense green foliage lay out a spectacular welcome and bring to life the charming classic portico, reminiscent of old world European architecture, that traverses the main courtyard. The front patio is framed by a gloriously mature trumpet vine and leads to the big heavy front door. One soon realizes this is going to be one of those properties, the kind that not only does not disappoint, but surprises and delights at every turn. From the high barrel-ceiling Living Room placed perfectly on the lot so as to lay the city at our feet, to the big yet warm formal Dining Room, to the interesting two-tiered bookshelf-lined Den/Family/Theatre-esque media Room and, of course the large updated, granite, stainless island-Kitchen with full-size glass-door wine refrigerator one begins to realize that this wonderful space is impossible not to appreciate. Words can not describe the feeling, the property must be seen, it must be heard, it must be experienced. The house has everything a house could need and it lives on one of the more precious pieces of land in all the city, close to all things urban yet far enough away to feel like a true otherworldly escape.
