About 1503 Stanford Drive
Originally built in 1926, this gorgeous, renovated 2 bed, 2.5 bath Adams Hill home offers striking hillside views and Spanish Revival design, a peaceful and elevated setting. Fully reimagined in collaboration with design firm AV Studio, the residence was renovated and rebuilt in 2020, and now offers an ideal floor plan with curated, high-end finishings and fixtures, as well as all new systems -- a move-in ready retreat in Glendale's most sought-after hillside neighborhood. Past the front patio, enter the home to find a moody front den featuring custom built-in floor-to-ceiling millwork and a traditional plaster fireplace with a center striking Capiz Shell Globe Pendant Light. Replete with timeless character, the corner built-in desk offers an idyllic setting to work or relax. The adjacent open-concept living space is designed for both everyday ease and effortless entertaining, with a living room, dining area, and open kitchen, anchored by a large center island finished in white Carrera marble with bull-nose edging. The kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry with unlacquered brass hardware and faucets, zellige tile backsplash, and thoughtfully layered lighting. The appliance suite includes a Bertazzoni gas range with six brass burners and a matching hood, a Bosch Benchmark refrigerator, a Bosch drawer microwave, a Miele dishwasher, and a Zephyr wine fridge. The meticulous renovation makes the kitchen both functional and visually striking. A charming powder room with Cle tile flooring is well-appointed for guests. Downstairs, find the home's two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room. The primary suite is a true retreat, arched windowed doors, a walk-in closet, spa-inspired bathroom featuring curated finishes, and a luxurious steam shower. The steam shower features penny-round tile flooring, custom-tiled walls and ceiling, and a marble bench. The secondary bedroom is ideal for guests, an office, or flexible living. Interior upgrades extend well beyond aesthetics, with newer HVAC and ducting with Nest thermostats, copper plumbing, newer electrical wiring and panel, a tankless water heater, and energy-efficient appliances throughout. The home also features a whole-house reverse osmosis water filtration system and a water softener, as well as improved drainage with new gutters. Outside, find a backyard private oasis, complete with a brand new wood deck, drought-tolerant landscaping, and privacy hedging lining the perimeter. A cowboy tub and outdoor shower elevate the space, creating an inviting environment for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying warm California evenings. Ideally situated, the home is just moments from Adams Square, where neighborhood favorites like Kafn Coffee, Grand Kitchen, and Adams Square Mini Park invite you to linger and enjoy the day. Little Ripper is also nearby for casual bites and coffee, while the Glendale Galleria and The Americana at Brand are just a short drive away, offering a vibrant mix of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. With its blend of character, modern upgrades, and prime location, this Adams Hill residence is a truly special offering.
