Description
The MacBride House (1924) A rare 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,552-square-foot Storybook Tudor tucked into the trees of Glendales Verdugo Woodlands, revived through a meticulous two-year restoration that brought back its original soul while introducing modern comfort. Soon to be officially recognized under the Mills Act, this home offers not only a connection to Glendales architectural heritage but also the rare potential for significant long-term property-tax savings for its next owner. Built by an English craftsman who once worked for early Hollywood film studios, this home feels like it was lifted straight from Disneys Snow White, with whimsical rooflines, arched doorways, and hand-carved details that radiate storybook magic. Inside, vaulted open-beam ceilings and leaded-glass windows fill the grand living hall with soft light that glows across refinished wood floors. The clinker-brick inglenook fireplace, flanked by original hand-carved benches, stands as the heart of the home and a masterpiece of 1920s design. The kitchen and baths have been restored with an artists restraint, new time period inspired wallpaper, reglazed sinks, new distressed vintage flooring in bathrooms and kitchen and new classic fixtures chosen in a way to preserve the homes authenticity. Behind the beauty, every system has been thoughtfully modernized, including new copper plumbing, updated electrical, dual-zone HVAC, and an EV-ready two-car garage with a finished attic loft perfect for a creative studio or private retreat. The 10,226-square-foot lot unfolds into a private paradise of meandering garde
