Perks for the Parents

Thoughtfully designed for families, this warm and spacious Glendale home blends 1930s charm with modern comfort. It sleeps 6 + 2. The kitchen retains its original character, yet is fully updated for modern life and opens to a dining area which seats the whole family. The primary bedroom includes a California kingsize bed, ensuite bathroom, and TV with streaming, so you’ll have a sanctuary to relax away from the kids. Extras parents will appreciate include central A/C, a washer/dryer, piano, record player, board games, and artist-designed interiors. Outside, a gated backyard offers a reflexology path, covered patio with dining table and hammock, plus a gas grill for easy family dinners.

Why Kids Love it

This home is full of kid-friendly fun, especially for toddlers and children under 10. The cheerful kids room is stocked with toys and books, with plenty of floor space to play. A travel crib and kid-sized chairs are also available for the littlest guests. Outdoors, the gated backyard offers heaps of fun: kids can play on the swing set, have a game of ping pong, blow bubbles, or ride bikes and scooters along the quiet sidewalks. They can even dig and help grow things in the vegetable garden, and the yard is often visited by butterflies, hummingbirds, and plenty of little garden lizards that kids love to chase. In the local area, you’ll find plenty of parks and green spaces: Brand Park, known for its historic library, art center, and hiking trails, is just minutes away, while Nibley Park offers shaded playgrounds and open lawns ideal for younger children. A nearby public pool and splash pad add to the outdoor fun, especially during warmer months.

Things to Know

Minimum stay: 7 days. The home is on one level with 3 steps up to the front door and 2 steps down to the family room. The home was designed to have as many soft and rounded corners as possible. The backyard is gated and there is an electric car charger for those guests who need it. Bikes and scooters are available, and the quiet neighborhood’s wide sidewalks are perfect for morning or evening walks. The location is especially convenient for travelers: the Hollywood Burbank Airport (officially Hollywood Burbank Airport – BUR) is just a 10-minute drive, and Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) is about 50 minutes away depending on traffic. Car rental is advised, although you can hop on the local Glendale Beeline Route 1 bus from nearby Hoover High School.

About the Location

The house is located on a peaceful, tree-lined street in the heart of Glendale, CA. Just a short walk from the quaint shops and cafes of Kenneth Village, the neighborhood feels tucked away while still being close to everything. For quick errands or leisurely weekends, The Americana at Brand is just a 10-minute drive. Griffith Park is also only 10 minutes away by car, offering a wide variety of family-friendly activities including the Los Angeles Zoo, Travel Town Museum (where kids can climb on vintage trains), pony rides, playgrounds, and miles of trails. Pasadena is a quick 15-minute drive, home to Kidspace Children's Museum, the Rose Bowl, and the Norton Simon Art Museum. Other popular family destinations like Universal Studios Hollywood and Descanso Gardens are also close by.

Accommodation Details

The house has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. You’ll find a spacious family room (with a TV and a drop-down projector screen, plus cozy seating for movie nights) and a separate living room that offers plenty of room to unwind, as well as a fully-equipped kitchen. The primary bedroom includes a California kingsize bed, while the second bedroom has a queensize bed for guests or a nanny. The kids’ room includes twin beds, toys, books, and a travel crib. The family bathroom has a tub, dual sinks, and garden views. There’s a piano and a record player for the musically inclined, and shelves filled with books and toys for all ages. Outside, the backyard features a peaceful garden setting with a large covered patio, dining table and a hammock - perfect for slow mornings or easy evenings.

Style Notes

Designed by a visual artist, the home blends original 1930s charm with thoughtful, creative touches throughout. Bright and airy, the space features vintage details like arched doorways and built-ins, complemented by warm, modern updates. The primary bedroom and children’s room are both wallpapered in playful yet calming patterns that reflect the home’s personality: elegant but not overly formal, comfortable without being cluttered. Art and design books, collected objects, and curated artwork add layers of character, while natural light and open space give the home a welcoming, relaxed feel. We love the historic fireplace, the kids room wallpaper and the super cozy primary bed.
