An ideal spot for afternoon tea. Throughout the home, arched openings, original wood doors and windows, stained and beveled glass, period lighting, and a wrought-iron stair railing add distinctive character.The formal dining room opens through French doors to the porte-cochere, while the breakfast room looks out to the garden. The kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, intricate tilework, a hammered copper farmhouse sink, stained-glass windows, and an AGA range.Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features original hardwood floors with a graceful arched entry to a newly constructed en-suite bath with a marble-topped vanity, glass-enclosed shower, and stained-glass detail. Additional upstairs windows present downtown LA and Glendale skyline views. This includes a window-wrapped sleeping porch with views into the trees and backyard.Outside, mature gardens surround brick and stone terraces, winding paths, and tucked-away places to sit or dine beneath the trees. Established plantings create a sense of privacy, while a French door provides a direct connection to the garden. A detached two-car garage adds another practical benefit. More than anything, it's the details from the beveled and stained glass to the arched doorways, detailed woodwork, period lighting, and craftsmanship that make this house so memorable. Nearly a century after it was built, the Tudor architecture and thoughtful details give the home a character all its own.
