This beautifully restored, 100 year old craftsman in Glendale is a real stunner. If you’re a craftsman lover like I am it doesn’t get much better than this. The painstaking renovations & upgrades and the original details & charms all combine to make this property truly something special.
The front yard is shaded with mature trees and has excellent curb appeal for any neighborhood. And be sure to notice 1330 N Louise’s multiple low-pitched roof gables with flared ridges and wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails.
The seriously spacious front porch makes for a brilliant, very large outdoor entertaining space that’s sumptuously detailed and shaded. And there’s at least one gargoyle, but you’ll have to visit to meet him.
The Dutch front door opens to the warm living room with original and immaculate oak floors, extensive wood detailing, custom-built doors, built-in shelving, and the glorious Batchelder fireplace.
The original handmade glass doors open to the den on one side with another Batchelder fireplace, and to the formal dining room on the other with its elegant built-in china cabinet. You’ve always wanted a china cabinet, haven’t you?
The den is currently set up as an office, a great use of space, but could also be a relaxed family room, media room, or artist’s studio.
The kitchen has been tastefully updated to reflect the home’s character and history, but not too modern to make it look out of place.
And, yes, in case you were wondering, there’s also a breakfast room filled with charm. Plus a pair of French doors leading out to the backyard. Easy indoor/outdoor access!
The roomy master bedroom is located on the first floor as is a gorgeous updated bath.
Two more bedrooms and a bath complete the second floor. The home’s current owners have replaced the roofing, retrofitted the foundation, invested in new wiring and plumbing, and, thankfully, installed central air.
And then there’s the home’s wonderful backyard. Just look at this portrait of 1130 N Louise with the palm trees and the blue sky in the background. It’s awesome.
The 3,059-square-foot home sits on a large one-third-acre lot with several entertaining areas, a brick back patio, a landscaped garden, and a detached garage.
There’s lots of nooks,crannies, and curiosities to explore and discover on the lush grounds.
And it’s that never ending fascination and wonder that 1330 N Louise unfolds in people when they visit. We should go see it!
