The story
Elevated, Expansive, and Bathed in Light in College Hills! Perched at the top of a cul-de-sac in coveted College Hills, 1664 Gladys Drive is a modern and renovated tri-level canyon view retreat that delivers on size and privacy. Step through the front door and the hillside greets you instantly: walls of windows, soaring ceilings, and open sightlines connecting the living room, dining area, and kitchen. A corner fireplace wrapped in matte-black stacked brick anchors the kitchen, sliding glass doors open to a balcony over the hillside. The kitchen is built for gathering, with a substantial white quartz island with seating, white shaker cabinetry, quartz backsplash, a glass-door walk-in pantry, a Samsung gas range with griddle, and a built-in NewAir wine fridge. Upstairs, double doors open to a primary suite with vaulted ceilings, a stacked marble gas fireplace, a three-window bay seat, and a huge balcony overlooking the hills. The resort-style wet-room bath pairs a Parva freestanding soaking tub with an expansive walk-in shower (Anizzi rainfall panel, body jets, marble bench), plus dual vanities and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. A loft office with mirrored built-ins and its own balcony overlooks the living room below. Down the hall, a guest suite has private exterior stair access, a fingerprint-lock entry, and its own en-suite bath, making it a rare flexible space for guests, extended family, or potential income. The lower level adds a junior suite large enough to be a second primary, with floor-to-ceiling windows, a walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath. There's also a guest bedroom with a private balcony, a bonus room for media or play, an additional bath, and a large laundry room. Four balconies, double-pane windows, an Ecobee smart thermostat, and a two-car garage with epoxy floors round out a home that gives everyone their own space without giving up the view. Minutes to Downtown Glendale, the Americana at Brand, and easy freeway access. This is hillside Glendale living at its most divine! Could you wake to warm canyon light every morning? Welcome home.
