An authentic 1948 midcentury modern residence spanning two APNs and four lots, this home was carefully restored in 2024 to preserve its original character while adding the comfort, function, and infrastructure of a modern home. The current owners purchased the property in 2020 and completed an extensive renovation that included all-new electrical with a 200-amp panel, a new roof, owned 24-panel solar system, copper plumbing, new windows and doors, HVAC and ducting, a tankless water heater, water softener, EV charging, and extensively updated landscaping and outdoor spaces.The kitchen was reoriented to take full advantage of the sweeping West Valley and mountain views. It features custom walnut cabinetry, Italian granite, premium appliances, and a custom-designed hood over a six-burner gas range and oven. Two fully renovated bathrooms and an additional half bath were finished with the same attention to quality and detail. Throughout the home, white-oak floors, walnut cabinetry and built-ins, Douglas fir windows, walnut doors, handmade and Heath tile, and Danish and midcentury lighting and fixtures bring warmth and consistency to the interiors. Original vintage lighting remains above the dining area and breakfast nook, keeping a direct connection to the home’s 1948 roots. The den/family room was added in 1959 and includes a second fireplace, with direct access to the private backyard and its generous entertaining areas. A custom walnut built-in desk was added during the 2024 renovation, creating a comfortable home office, along with a discreet laundry closet with a stackable LG washer and dryer. Modern technology has been thoughtfully incorporated throughout, including a dedicated audio/video closet, 14 indoor and outdoor speakers, hardwired Wi-Fi extenders, and a hardwired security camera system with local storage. The setting is one of the property’s greatest strengths. Located in one of Glendale’s most desirable areas, the home offers exceptional privacy, West Valley and mountain views, and direct access to hiking trails from the backyard. Brand Park and the shops and restaurants of Kenneth Village are both just a few blocks away. The result is a comfortable, beautifully maintained historic home that combines the character of a true midcentury residence with the updates and conveniences of a modern one.
