About 1225 Oberlin Drive

Sited to capture spectacular city views in Glendale's burgeoning Adams Hill, this archetypal single-story 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom Mid-Century Modern home presents a rare opportunity to own work of an underrecognized architect of his era. Designed in 1962 by USC School of Architecture graduate, Charles W. Walton - the residence reflects the clean, considered hand of a career institutional architect applied to the intimacy of a private home.Exposed heavy timber beams and tongue-and-groove wood ceilings define the open, light-filled interior, eliminating the need for load-bearing walls and allowing walls of glass to frame arresting vistas of the surrounding hillsides and city lights beyond. The open living and dining area flows onto an oversized covered deck, extending the living space outdoors for effortless indoor-outdoor living. The ergonomic kitchen, thoughtfully updated by the current owner, features chef's appliances, European-styled cabinetry and premium finishes offering a quiet contemporary accent to the home's period architecture, while still maintaining its authentic integrity. A flexible third bedroom presents equally well as an additional public space, office or den. Below, a spacious lower level accommodates a multitude of uses from additional storage to gym space, with an adjacent lower outdoor area offering further opportunity for gardening and leisure. Oversized Single Car Garage.Situated within one of Glendale's more recently discovered and increasingly sought-after pockets, the home offers immediate proximity to the city's growing dining scene, including acclaimed Dunsmoor, Little Ripper and Joy, along with the cultural draw of nearby Atwater Village and Eagle Rock nearby.
