Spanish Art Deco Revival
1428 Bruce Ave, Glendale, CA 91202
Welcome to this 1930s Art Deco Spanish dream home! Steps from the heart of Kenneth Village, amongst tree-lined mountain views and charming character homes in the enchanting northwest Glendale neighborhood of Glenwood.
Enter through the gorgeous original front door and feel like you've stepped back in time to the finest of 1933. The formal entry features stunning inlaid wood floors, a beautiful art deco revival light fixture, convenient coat closet and some of the most beautiful arches you've ever seen. Just through those arches is a remarkably restored living room with adjacent nook (charmingly referred to the "music room"), perfect for your personal library. Beamed ceilings, original intricately tiled fireplace and big open wood windows that stream sunlight onto the warm hardwood floors. Just beyond the set of charming arches is the perfect formal dining room with trey ceiling and adorable arched phone nook.
Adjacent is the thoughtfully renovated kitchen with spanish tile floor, gleaming zellige backspanish and a special surprise in the ample walk-in pantry - secret doors to the basement! How fun! Maybe create your own speakeasy? Just off the kitchen, access your separate laundry room with powder room and door to the driveway (featuring the original milk delivery door!). Down a bright hallway, you can access 3 beautiful, charming bedrooms. The front bedroom features beamed ceilings and gorgeous arched niches, with the back bedrooms adorned with coved ceilings and historic wedding cake plaster in a beautiful delicate pattern. Follow the center hallway (with two ample linen closets!) to the most charming restored bathroom you've seen. Almost every room has access to the outside through french doors - with the living room french doors leading out to a private dining courtyard for a perfect indoor/outdoor entertaining flow.
Just beyond, an ample grassy backyard with spacious patio, lush verdant landscaping, a porch off the back bedrooms, and wide mountain views, almost 6,700 sq ft of lot offers plenty of space for your favorite activities. There's easy access to the bonus space beside the garage - perhaps to be used as your new office space? The wide driveway leads to the spacious double garage. Out front, a shaded porch is the perfect perch to wave to friendly neighbors. Meanwhile, enjoy modern conveniences like central hvac with nest thermostat, fiber internet and electric car charger.
You're just a block from Kenneth Village, an incredibly charming stretch that feels like you're strolling through a small town in Europe, complete with clock tower. Stop at the french bakery for a croissant, or pop into Commissary Coffee for a delicious lunch with friends. Grab a frozen yogurt and stroll the boulevard. Just a little northwest is Brand Park, where you pass through STUNNING moorish gates inscribed with the word "Miradero" and beautiful matching library inside. The 31 acre park also features a Japanese garden and teahouse, a museum, a playground, bbqs, picnic tables, hiking and biking trails, basketball court, softball field, and wading pool. Access to much lauded local Glendale schools and other Glendale amenities, community services and parks. This highly coveted neighborhood feels like you're a million miles away from the city, while being just minutes from freeways, downtown Glendale, the Americana at Brand and the Galleria. Period charm, modern conveniences, ample storage, beautiful neighborhood, walkability...this home has it all! Your dream house in your dream neighborhood!
