About this home

Mid-Century Modern with Panoramic Views in Adams Hill - Experience clean-lined architecture paired with expansive views at this Adams Hill residence. The home’s elevated position delivers a 180-degree panoramic vista stretching across glittering city lights below and the local mountain hillsides across the horizon in every direction. Inside, the architectural DNA of the era designed by Charles W Walton* is meticulously preserved. Exposed heavy dark timber beams support the structure, eliminating the need for load bearing interior walls and allowing for large glass windows. The ceilings are tongue-and-groove wood planking that can be seen throughout most of the house. The thoughtful floor plan has rich hardwood flooring across the kitchen, main living spaces, and the flexible office/first bedroom, transitioning to durable luxury vinyl tile throughout the remaining private quarters. The heart of the home is a completely modernized kitchen, intentionally upgraded to contrast and elevate the mid-century aesthetic. It features striking European-styled cabinetry, luxury Dekton Cosentino countertops, premium appliances, and a layout optimized for both daily use and entertaining, all designed to face the drop-dead gorgeous view. The home’s defining showpiece is its effortless connection to the outdoors. The living spaces open directly onto an expansive covered deck, creating the ultimate indoor-outdoor flow. This home's outdoor footprint serves as a natural extension of the living room, purpose-built for quiet morning espresso, sipping wine and watching the sunset or dining alfresco against a dramatic view. Your days and evenings are like a colorful palette of "Wow!". Situated in one of Glendale's most desirable hillside enclaves, this property offers a quiet residential retreat with immediate, hyper-local proximity to the dining, coffee, and cultural scenes of Downtown Glendale, Atwater Village, and Eagle Rock. Attached is a generous single car garage with extra storage that has direct interior access to the house. Exterior stairs lead to the enclosed basement offering storage and easy access to plumbing, etc. This hillside property also offers grapefruit, loquat, orange, pepper and olive trees. If you’ve been looking for that view home - this is it.
