1322 N Louise Street

As a part of Glendale's newly minted Casa Verdugo Historical District, 1322 N Louise is historical in its own right. This 1913 Craftsman carries with it the dignified charm of a bygone era, set on a sprawling lot that spans more than a quarter acre. From the front porch to the stained glass and light fixtures, the home is filled with characteristically Craftsman details. A gracious office on the first floor gives you a glimpse at the wide, tree-lined street as you work. The formal dining room is lined with pristine wainscoting, original built-ins, and opens out toward a little bird sanctuary. For more casual dining, an ample breakfast nook is just off the very generous chef's kitchen. The detached garage has been finished and given a three-quarter bath, and the driveway can accommodate several vehicles-including RVs. Like a playground for kids of all ages, there's an abundance of unique nooks and crannies for reading, playing, resting, storing, and creating. The upstairs enclosed sundeck is a particularly magical perch to oversee the yard below. The grounds have been professionally landscaped with California native plantings-including grape and blackberry vines, drip irrigation, a kitchen-adjacent garden, and a raised veggie bed. The meticulous hardscaping was done with re-purposed cement pavers, sit walls, built-in benches, arbors, and pathways that showcase outdoor lighting and the century-old oak that shades the yard.
