A few years ago I was driving with a friend from Glendale to Eagle Rock and we got a little lost. We wound up in a neighborhood called Adams Hill and when I saw all of the beautiful Spanish Colonial, English Tudor, and Mid-Century modern homes and a quaint and cute shopping village known as Adams Square, I told my friend to pull over so we could take a look around.
We ended up spending the day. We loved the cute pocket parks and Brand Florist, the Village Market, the delicious Art’s Bakery, and the 1930’s art deco community library, but it wasn’t until we ventured up the hill and noticed the gorgeous mixture of architectural styles that I knew this hidden neighborhood was a unique and alluring little enclave of Los Angeles.
So I was happy to travel back to the area to see The Turret House, as the locals call it, a striking gothic Spanish three bedroom, two bathroom home. From the idyllic and lush front yard a cobblestone path leads to a Spanish tiled stairway to the grand entry of the home. Inside, the home features many original details including hand painted exposed beams, hardwood floors and Spanish tile, proscenium arches, and Cathedral windows, some with beautiful stained glass.
A formal dining room with a unique chandelier is just off the living area and the updated kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances, custom cabinets, and bright light.
The home enjoys sensational views of the city below from each of the the three bedrooms. The master on the main level has stunning vistas of the Glendale hills, a walk-in closet, and a fireplace.
You’ll fall in love with main bath. I did! The serene blue, clawfoot tub, and the gorgeous Spanish tiles all unite to create an authentic and relaxing environment.
Imagine sitting down to work at this inspiring and secluded office, perfect for writing and reading.
The lower level consists of a large bedroom, en suite bath, a small kitchen, and private entry making for a lovely getaway retreat or entertainment quarters.
1308 Oberlin Drive has several patios perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Once you see the outdoor courtyard and entertaining spaces you might immediately begin planning your house warming party.
A remarkably built children’s playhouse is just as distinctive and detailed as the main house, of course only much smaller!
Just a short walk from Adams Square, and a brief drive from downtown Glendale, Los Feliz, and downtown LA, this is a private and distinguished architectural home you and your family won’t want to miss.
