Perched atop its own private promontory in Glendale's coveted Verdugo Woodlands, this remarkable 1956 single-story architectural residence offers an extraordinary combination of privacy, scale, and sweeping panoramic views. Tucked away at the end of a private drive on an ultra-secluded 0.76-acre lot, the approximately 3,100-square-foot home captures breathtaking vistas of the LA skyline, Oakmont Country Club, surrounding mountains, and lush gardens from nearly every room. Offered for the first time in more than 24 years, this rare mid-century-inspired traditional embodies the essence of classic California indoor-outdoor living. Clean lines, expansive glass walls, and light-filled open spaces create a seamless connection to the spectacular natural surroundings. Even the expansive motor court enjoys commanding valley views. A dramatic wall of glass welcomes you upon entry, looking out to verdant landscaping and mature oak trees framing the view of sparkling city lights beyond. The spacious living room centers around a fireplace and opens visually to a fountain-filled patio and tranquil hillside setting through floor-to-ceiling windows. An inviting family room with a vintage brick fireplace is bathed in natural light and overlooks the fairways of Oakmont Country Club and the surrounding foothills.The kitchen retains its undeniable mid-century character and features an integrated breakfast bar, flowing effortlessly into the formal dining room where expansive views provide a stunning backdrop for entertaining. The primary suite offers a period Roman tub, double vanity, and a sliding glass door opening to the backyard, while enjoying serene views of greenery, cityscapes, and the surrounding landscape. Three additional bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests, home offices, creative studios, or media spaces. A generous laundry room with abundant storage provides direct access to the large attached garage. The sprawling 33,000 square-foot grounds offer a rare sense of tranquility and total privacy. An expansive lawn, mature trees, and beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces create an idyllic retreat. While perfect as it is, the property also presents a remarkable opportunity to create a dream outdoor environment, whether envisioning a pool pavilion, resort-style entertaining areas, or a private creative studio. Although wonderfully secluded, the property remains just minutes from Montrose Shopping Park, downtown Glendale, Glorietta Park and convenient freeway access. A rare opportunity to restore, reimagine, and enjoy a true Southern California classic in one of Glendale's most sought-after neighborhoods. Yes, the home will benefit from updates and the next owner's personal vision, but opportunities like this are increasingly rare. The reward is the chance to create something truly special; a timeless mid-century estate with spectacular views, exceptional privacy, and the enduring magic of 1950s California architecture.
