In 1940, Dr. P.K. Telford selected this parcel just two doors from Glendale’s historic Ard Eevin residence on which to construct a home for his own family. He loved this neighborhood nestled against the hills providing city views looking south with untouched open hillside behind. Fortunately, the doctor’s taste leaned to understated elegance and that original character has been preserved by this long-time steward of this special home. The entry opens to a large formal living room that is bathed in natural via oversized windows drinking in the views. The grand formal dining room has hosted many formal affairs and large family gatherings. The kitchen is also filled with natural light and has a quaint breakfast nook looking out over the rear grounds. The east wing has two large bedroom suites as well as a small library with custom book shelves. The west side has another bedroom suite with its own bath. The internal stairs that lead to the garage also lead to extra storage rooms, one of which has been used as a guest room as well as a home office. The front grounds have mature trees, lawn, and gardens. The rear grounds have been a wonderful place for outdoor entertaining on the patio and lawn. There is also a small path that leads to the elevated view garden with a gate that opens right out to mountain hiking. Just a few of the features include updated copper piping, updated HVAC, a two-car attached garage, and, of course, proximity to Brand Park and Library.
