3702 Fourth Avenue, Glendale, California 91214 (MLS# P1-10772)

It's all about the Charm -- this mini hacienda style Spanish is truly one of the darlings of La Crescenta. Sitting in a neighborhood called the 'Avenues,' this area is dotted with cottages that were built by Los Angeles residents starting in the 1920's for weekend escapes from the hustle-and-bustle. Built in 1931, the home offers 2 bedrooms (one ensuite), a second bath and a darling flex room currently used as a sitting room that could be made into an additional ensuite bedroom. The home exudes an intriguing mix of hacienda charm on the exterior with an interior that has a contemporary twist integrating a surprising open concept layout, light filled rooms and a genuine feeling of comfort. This home also has a backyard - a point that is not altogether common in this neighborhood but one that offers a perfect private space and room for entertaining your guests. From the street, you'll find a whimsical Spanish oasis with a large lemon tree and beautiful bougainvillea that drape the front facade. Just imagine those days-gone-by and the long trip from L.A. to this serene spot where residents came to picnic, relax and catch polliwogs in what is now Crescenta Valley Park. It was magical then -- and today, this darling hacienda retains all that magic plus a modern contemporary twist that is truly All about the Charm.
