About 1529 Raymond Avenue
Set in prime Northwest Glendale, where the Verdugo Mountains rise dramatically as a natural backdrop, this Tudor residence offers a distinct sense of place: quiet, grounded, and deeply connected to the landscape around it. Behind its classic facade, framed by original diamond-pane leaded glass windows, the home captures light in a way that feels both timeless and quietly elegant. Inside, nearly 2,000 square feet unfold across a single level, where original hardwood floors and high ceilings establish warmth and architectural integrity, while thoughtful updates bring ease to everyday living. A porte-cochre, handcrafted sconces and custom built in shelving and desks further underscore the home's enduring character. The oversized living room centers around a wood-burning fireplace with a custom walnut mantel with a Mission West tiled hearth, a warm focal point that carries into the formal dining room. The layout is both open and defined, with expansive rooms, clear sightlines but with moments of separation allowing for space to gather or have space. The kitchen, designed by 1000X Better, is generous in scale and thoughtfully executed. Caesarstone surfaces, a large pantry, Quercus & Co wallpaper, large island, lots of light & ample storage create a space that is elevated, functional, and inviting.
