The MacBride House (1924) — A rare 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,552-square-foot Storybook Tudor tucked into the trees of Glendale’s Verdugo Woodlands, revived through a meticulous two-year restoration that brought back its original soul while introducing modern comfort. Soon to be officially recognized under the Mills Act, this home offers not only a connection to Glendale’s architectural heritage but also the rare potential for significant long-term property-tax savings for its next owner. Built by an English craftsman who once worked for early Hollywood film studios, this home feels like it was lifted straight from Disney’s Snow White, with whimsical rooflines, arched doorways, and hand-carved details that radiate storybook magic. Inside, vaulted open-beam ceilings and leaded-glass windows fill the grand living hall with soft light that glows across refinished wood floors. The clinker-brick inglenook fireplace, flanked by original hand-carved benches, stands as the heart of the home and a masterpiece of 1920s design. The kitchen and baths have been restored with an artist’s restraint, new time period inspired wallpaper, reglazed sinks, new distressed vintage flooring in bathrooms and kitchen and new classic fixtures chosen in a way to preserve the home’s authenticity. Behind the beauty, every system has been thoughtfully modernized, including new copper plumbing, updated electrical, dual-zone HVAC, and an EV-ready two-car garage with a finished attic loft perfect for a creative studio or private retreat. The 10,226-square-foot lot unfolds into a private paradise of meandering garden paths, intimate patios, and mountain views that make you feel completely tucked away from the world while still only five minutes from the conveniences of modern life. Even the back staircase carries a homage of Glendale’s story, built from old railroad ties that reflect what once supported the trolley network that brought residents to this hillside haven a century ago. The Glendale Historical Commission has already met and formally recommended the home for Mills Act approval, with final City Council confirmation expected soon, offering the next owner both the pride of preservation and the potential for long-term property tax savings. The MacBride House is more than a home; it is a living story; a fairytale refuge that celebrates craftsmanship, imagination, and the timeless beauty that first made Glendale one of California’s most enchanting communities.

Santa Barbara is a unique avenue of annual block parties and kids actually playing on their front lawns in the shade of mature trees. These Owners have loved living here for over 40 years. In that time that have preserved the original character while transforming it to this elegant one-story estate of almost 3,000 sf. The formal entry opens to a beautiful formal living room with rich wood flooring, original double hung windows, and a warm fireplace. The dining room seats a rather large party for formal entertaining. The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled and expanded with more wood flooring, custom cabinetry, dark quarts counters, high end appliances and a large breakfast room. Of course, this culinary hub of the house opens to the family room with its own fireplace, custom built-ins, and glass doors that open to the rear grounds. The primary suite is its own wing with a huge bedroom with an antique marble fireplace mantel, a true walk-in closet, and a glorious bath with dual sinks, separate stall shower, and a soaking tub. The west wing has two more large bedrooms, two gorgeous remodeled baths, and perhaps the best home office I have ever seen with a high ceiling, custom cabinets, and a wall of glass that opens out to the private paradise yard with a spectacular pool and spa. This room was also designed to be a fourth bedroom with its own ingress. This is a rare home that offers more features than I can list, but just a few include a newer roof with solar panels, updated copper plumbing, updated electrical panel, central air and heating, and a two-car attached garage.
