Description

This is a rare opportunity to own one of Glendale's most prestigious homes - a Moorish castle built in 1927! As you approach the graceful private drive, you will notice the John D. Perkins House exhibits many details of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, particularly its Moorish elements, but there is also a hint of the then-popular but rare Art Nouveau style, especially evident in the curvilinear shapes of the oversized windows. Upon entry, you are immediately drawn to its fabulous design with generous entertaining rooms and hand stenciled archways. The opulent living room with fireplace has grand windows offering lush views of verdant trees beyond. The dining room is open to the kitchen again showcasing beautiful windows and verdant views. The expansive chef's kitchen complete with a butler's pantry with stained glass door, Wolf/SubZero stainless steel appliances, oversized island and adjacent office effortlessly combine modern convenience with timeless sophistication. The graceful wrought-iron curved 'castle like' stairway, with original textural paint, leads up to lavish bedrooms, each meticulously restored to offer modern luxuries while preserving its classic charm. On the lower level, discover an entertainer's paradise with a spacious media room with abundant french windows, a home gym and a charming new bathroom. Don't miss near to the kitchen, a cozy and romantic, patio perfect for entertaining or relaxing after a long day. This home is more than a residence, it celebrates historic elegance and modern luxury, set in the coveted Verdugo Woodlandsl!
