Description
1353 Ruberta Avenue is a rare blend of timeless Spanish character, generous indoor and outdoor living, and thoughtful modern updates. Set on one of the largest parcels in Glendale's beloved El Miradero neighborhood, this special property offers over 12,000 square feet of beautifully landscaped grounds. Mature fruit trees, meandering paths, raised garden beds and a large brick patio made for entertaining complete the back yard. Inside, a gracious formal foyer opens through an arched entry into a light-filled living room with an architectural fireplace and cozy reading nook. The formal dining room, framed by glass doors, opens to a private courtyard with a classic Saltillo tile patio, creating an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The spacious primary suite features airy 10-foot ceilings and an updated en suite bath with a spa-like soaking tub. Downstairs, a truly unique bonus room offers endless possibilities as an office, library, den, guest room or inspiring work-from-home space. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors on both sides fill the room with natural light, while custom built-in bookcases add warmth and character. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a second full bath. Thoughtfully updated for modern living, the home also features solar panels and Tesla Powerwall batteries, offering energy efficiency and backup power. Kenneth Village is just a short stroll away, with its coffee shops, restaurants and fitness studios, and the expansive grounds of Brand Park and Library are just up the hill. Celebrating 100 years, 1353 Ruberta is ready for her next owners to carry her beautifully into the next century.
