Welcome to this warm and inviting country cottage in the heart of the Glendale El Miradero neighborhood just below the hills, offering nearly 3,000 sq ft of beautifully maintained living space on a generous 7,500 sq ft lot. Originally built in 1923, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home blends classic charm with thoughtful updates and a distinctive layout perfect for modern living. The oversized primary suite is a true retreat secluded from the main living areas and featuring a massive walk-in closet, a luxurious bathroom with soaking tub and separate sit-down shower with direct access to the home's central courtyard. A hallway which is wide enough and long enough to be a children's arts and crafts area (or whatever the imagination dictates) connects the primary suite to the spacious family room, which includes a cozy fireplace and is ideal for relaxing or entertaining. Instead of a traditional backyard, the home centers around a private courtyard, perfect for outdoor dining or quiet mornings, or any time of day. The courtyard includes a watering fountain which provides a tasteful aura of serenity. The oversized garage offers endless potential: two large vehicles will easily fit or, instead, park two cars comfortably in the parking nook while converting the garage into a workshop, studio, office, guest space, or even an ADU. Also there is a large, tall attic space for storage, etc. Additions were done circa 1950, all with permits. Numerous upgrades done in 2007 thru 2011 including bolting and anchoring of foundation, new roof, upgraded HVAC and electrical and energy efficient windows. With its unique layout, generous room sizes, and welcoming atmosphere, this home offers flexibility, privacy, and charm in a highly desirable Glendale location.
