Set behind a classic arched courtyard filled with bougainvillea and the sound of a bubbling fountain, this 1931 Spanish Colonial Revival draws you into something special. Situated in the heart of Glendale’s Rossmoyne Historic District, a neighborhood known for some of the city’s most beautiful Spanish architecture, the home balances historic character with thoughtful updates that respect its past. The carved wooden front door opens to a welcoming entry where soft arches and a magnesite floor create an elegant first impression. From here, step down into the living room with its original French windows, vaulted beamed ceiling accented with hand-stenciled details, and a fireplace surrounded by handmade tiles from the historic Markoff Mosaic Tile Corporation. Peg-and-groove hardwood floors carry through much of the home, bringing warmth and texture to each space. Across from the living room, the dining room looks onto the courtyard fountain and offers generous proportions, setting the stage for gatherings. The updated kitchen is bright and functional, blending seamlessly with the home’s style and offering plenty of room for cooking and connection. One and 3/4 bathrooms reflect the home’s 1931 roots with restored tilework, while three bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, including an en-suite that opens to the veranda and backyard. Outdoors, a flagstone-paved yard surrounds the expansive spa beneath twinkling lights and umbrellas, framed by stucco walls and mature greenery. The shaded veranda just off the house offers a relaxed spot to lounge or entertain, making the backyard feel like a private retreat. Additional updates include copper plumbing, newer central air and heat, and a bolted foundation. 1148 Cordova is a home where history feels alive and daily life fits right in.
