Property Details

Description

MILLS ACT APPROVED!! Home is now eligible for significant property tax reduction! The MacBride House (1924) — A rare 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom, 1,552-square-foot Storybook Tudor tucked into the trees of Glendale’s Verdugo Woodlands, revived through a meticulous two-year restoration that brought back its original soul while introducing modern comfort. Approved for the Mills Act, this home offers not only a connection to Glendale’s architectural heritage but also significant long-term property-tax savings. Built by an English craftsman who once worked for early Hollywood film studios, this home feels like it was lifted straight from Disney’s 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 artist’s 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 home’s 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 garden paths, intimate patios, and mountain views that make you feel completely tucked away from the world while still only five minutes from the conveniences of modern life. Even the back staircase carries a homage of Glendale’s story, built from old railroad ties that reflect what once supported the trolley network that brought residents to this hillside haven a century ago. The Glendale Historical Commission has already met and formally recommended the home for Mills Act approval, with final City Council confirmation expected soon, offering the next owner both the pride of preservation and the potential for long-term property tax savings. The MacBride House is more than a home; it is a living story; a fairytale refuge that celebrates craftsmanship, imagination, and the timeless beauty that first made Glendale one of California’s most enchanting communities.

"My Mom passed away 1/31/21 needless to say it was a very difficult time for me. I needed help selling my mothers home. I reached out to Ever and he stepped up big! From the beginning he was a true professional great communication skills, great attitude, always made time for me and answered any questions I had. He showed compassion for my situation and went above and beyond to make things as easy as possible for me. Go with Ever you won’t regret it!"

"I worked with Ever through the process of an Estate Sale and sale of a condominium. Throughout the experience he and his team were extremely helpful. I had never been involved with an estate sale previously and was working with the additional factor of not being local. After an initial meeting I was able to deal with he and his team remotely which simplified the entire process and experience. Any questions or issues I had were very quickly addressed and resolved. My entire experience was very positive. Thank You!"

"Ever was simply excellent. He is thorough, approachable and very knowledgable of the house buying process. We appreciated his manner and help throughout our purchase process - he never made us feel pressured to select a house and helped us find a perfect match. He was especially helpful when we needed to juggle urgent travel during the Escrow process, helping us set up power of attorney. We would recommend Ever to any type of buyer and will certainly use him for any future real estate needs that we have."
