Glendale House for Sale

Welcome to 1222 Reynolds Drive

A rare and enchanting 1928 English Tudor nestled in Glendale's coveted Adams Hill neighborhood awaits. With gabled rooflines, wraparound eaves, and detailed architectural elements, this historic gem radiates elegance and charm. Rumored to have been designed by the renowned architect Robert Byrd, known for his whimsical designs across Los Angeles, this property holds a special place in history. Although official records are scant, it's believed Byrd played a role in its design and once lived here with his parents.

The main residence spans over 3,363 square feet, boasting high coffered ceilings, inlaid hardwood floors, and a harmonious mix of original features and contemporary updates. The remodeled kitchen dazzles with its bright, vaulted ceilings and skylights, new hardwood flooring, quartz countertops, premium appliances, and a cozy breakfast nook. It leads to three spacious bedrooms with coved ceilings and a beautifully updated bathroom. Despite its rich history, the home has been modernized with new flooring, elegant fixtures, arched doorways, and a new casement window that bathes the living room, with its commanding fireplace, in natural light.

The property also includes a permitted additional dwelling unit, officially recorded as a duplex. This space, brimming with potential, could serve as a guest suite, studio, office, or possibly a rental unit to generate income. The upstairs features a dramatic wood-clad library, perfect for work, play, or relaxation, while the spacious basement offers tall ceilings and flexible spaces for lounging, a home theater, or games, alongside a kitschy, pub-like area ideal for social gatherings.

The gardens and backyard offer a private, charming oasis with ample space for dining or relaxing. Situated in the vibrant, walkable Adams Hill neighborhood, this home is ideally located near some of the best dining and popular spots in Glendale, Atwater, and Highland Park. Just a short walk to the local pocket park and KAFN coffee, 1222 Reynolds Drive represents a unique blend of architectural significance, charm, and opportunity.
