Elevated in the San Gabriel foothills of Glendale, this home has the most sweeping views in all of Rancho San Rafael. Relax in your new family room or master, and enjoy panoramic views of Downtown LA, Dodgers' Friday night fireworks, San Fernando Valley, and even as far as Long Beach and the ocean, weather permitting. The home has been completely updated in the past three years according to the owner's highest standards--from the new kitchen and bathrooms and upgrades to systems, to details like the Emtek hardware throughout. The home now features smooth wall finish, replacing the outdated orange peel texture seen in other houses in the community. The kitchen is completely new, with white cabinets, 48 inch Thor commercial range with exclusive pot filler plumbing, 52' x 95' island with seating for five, Bosch appliances including dual dishwashers, drawer microwave and more.The updates continue with new solid core doors, new trim, oversized baseboards, built-in LED lighting, and new fireplace surrounds. The bathrooms have been completely updated and feature exquisite marble tile work, and the owners have replaced the garage doors and air conditioning units. This location in Glendale has it all, without the congestion. It's a short trip to the seemingly limitless dining options of Brand Avenue, the Americana upscale experience, the Glendale Galleria, the charm of Montrose, and the pleasure of weekly visits to the nearby markets of Whole Foods, Trader Joes, and uncrowded La Canada access. In addition, the Rancho San Rafael community offers a pool and clubhouse, which are located a short distance from the home.With stunning, unobstructed views both towards DTLA, and to the west towards the San Fernando Valley, and with the premium upgrades in the last three years--both aesthetic and to the home's systems--this is a special property that stands alone in its appeal.
