Start with a quiet tree-lined street in Glendale's Kenneth Village neighborhood. Add a Classic Spanish 2-story home on a professionally landscaped lot. Build it around beams recovered from an 1800's sailing ship; cover the floors with hardwood; provide unique windows with built-in pull-down screens; entertain with 2 fireplaces, a deck that surrounds the entire back of the house, an in-ground spa and a built-in natural gas BBQ; disperse 2 bedrooms (1 with FP) and a bath to the first floor so they can be used as a separate apartment; incorporate wainscoting, cove molding, intricate tile work and other details of fine craftsmanship; update with central air, new copper plumbing and new wiring; and finish it off with verdant grounds peppered with flowers and fruit trees and surrounded by a new stucco fence. The result is Glendale's Finest Home ready for entertaining and living in a community known for its friendly, caring neighbors.
