Description
Steeped in local history, this remarkable 1953 courtyard residence was originally custom-built as the personal home of Glendale Mayor and City Councilman George R. Wickham. Harmoniously blending traditional California Ranch charm with a sleek Mid-Century Modern aesthetic, this 3,294 sq. ft. architectural treasure captivates with breathtaking views.Beyond the unassuming stucco facade, classic geometric breeze blocks, and custom pergola lies a private oasis arranged around a stunning central courtyard with a tranquil water feature serving as an open-air entrance hall. Inside, the walls dissolve into a spectacular linear living space anchored by an iconic double-sided fireplace and maintenance-free polished concrete floors beneath quintessential post-and-beam tongue-and-groove ceilings.The ultra-luxurious, upgraded kitchen, masterfully designed by celebrity designer Jeff Lewis of Bravo's Flipping Out, is a culinary achievement featuring a 36' Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual sinks, a custom beverage center, and million-dollar vistas.The brilliant 4-bedroom layout perfectly accommodates extended living, offering a private eastern mother-in-law suite and a closable western two-bedroom wing. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, showcasing magical panoramic views, a full 'car wash-style' damless shower with premium 1x1 Ann Sacks tile, and a massive walk-in closet converted from a 5th bedroom.Walls of glass frame three sides of the central courtyard, while the entire southern exposure is a spectacular glass curtain wall that effortlessly merges the indoors with a resort-style backyard. Also envisioned by Jeff Lewis, the exterior grounds offer an extended entertainment deck, a sparkling inground pool, a hot tub, a firepit, and forever views. Pack your toothbrush, put on some Frank Sinatra, mix a martini, and watch the sunset from your new architectural legacy.
