Spanish Colonial Estate in Glendale’s Verdugo Woodlands | 1600 El Rito Ave.

Located in Glendale’s prime Verdugo Woodlands neighborhood on a quiet country road with tall trees, blue skies, and stunning valley vistas, this extraordinary 1930s Spanish Colonial estate absolutely has it all. It’s a modern day day dream home and a sublime restoration for the ages.

With excellent curb appeal, the home exudes historic stature and a prepossessing grace. System updates include a brand new roof topped with original clay tiles and a new HVAC for ultimate comfort. Original hardwood floors, arches, ironwork, California basement, built-ins and a stunning original interior fountain are just a few of the vintage hallmarks of this exceptional home.

The gorgeous exterior perfectly encapsulates yet barely reveals the alluring interiors to come.

The turreted foyer entry has a one-of-a-kind hand crafted front door and lovely stained glass windows, plus a vintage chandelier.

The entry leads to the massive living room.

The living room has a huge picture window that perfectly frames the front yard and its rolling green lawn.

There is also a grand period fireplace and multiple pairs of French doors that lead to the stunning colonnade and private walled courtyard.

The palatial formal dining room has a coved ceiling and golden 1930s appropriate sconces and chandelier.

And like any great estate from the first half of the 20th century, this home also has a more casual breakfast room with built-in banquette seating and storage and charming arched doorways.

Both lead to the brand new chic and stylish and sunny chef’s kitchen that has eat-in seating at the gigantic butcher block center island, a swanky glass-door Sub-Zero refrigerator, a lemon-colored Bertazzoni range with custom hood.

All overlooking the grassy yard and the brand-new glistening pool and spa.

Next to the kitchen are a one-of-a-kind sun/sitting room with a ornate water feature, a dedicated laundry room with separate service entrance, and a powder room.

Plus two guest bedrooms, one of which has easy outdoor access through a pair of French doors.

Both bedrooms share a newly remodeled full bathroom.

The magnificent staircase is ready for it’s close up and leads upstairs to three spacious full suite bedrooms.

Each of the bedrooms is characteristically unique, with their own 1930s details and charming attriutes.

They have formal balconies, walk-in closets, built-ins, sun rooms, and so much more to love.

One of the suites has a wonderful balcony ideal for enjoying the evening’s cool woodland breeze.

All three of the ensuite bedrooms upstairs have beautiful, vintage-chic bathrooms. All with original tile, soaking tubs, and showers.

Step outside to the jaw-dropping backyard. Entertain al-fresco on patios and semi-enclosed courtyards under the stars.

Whether you’re hosting large-scale events or intimate soireés all of the property’s outdoor spaces will have you covered.

The truly impressive colonnade offers several spots for conversation or curling up with a good book and spending the day reading.

The terrace overlooking the pool and spa is a real standout in a home full of them.

And the pool itself is perfectly private and offers the ultimate respite on a warm summer day.

This out-of-this-world property also has a 3-car garage with new vintage-style automatic doors and is just blocks to the Oakmont Country Club and Catalina Verdugo Adobe. 1600 El Rito Avenue is truly an exceptional architectural masterpiece in one of the most lush and lovely neighborhoods in all of Southern California.
