Last month, September 2020, the most expensive home sold was 1611 Glenmont Dr., Glendale. The sprawling Buchanan Estate listed for $3,875,000. This luxury Glendale home sold in fifteen days to a cash buyer for more than the list price, selling for $4,400,000. The sellers previously listed this home in 2018 (with a different real estate agent) for $5,250,000. They reduced the price to $4,990,000 and eventually took it off the market after it didn’t sell.

Perched on more than one private acre, the Buchanan Estate captures breathtaking panoramic views. At the same time, it offers remarkable privacy. This exceptional hilltop setting combines seclusion with easy access to nearby amenities.
Enter through the private gate and arrive at a spacious motor court. Then, explore beautifully landscaped grounds accented by mature palms and outdoor art. The sprawling single-story home, built in the mid-1950s, blends redwood, stone, and steel into the natural hillside. Meanwhile, expansive windows maximize the spectacular views.
Inside, the formal entry opens to grand living and dining rooms. Herringbone hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows create an elegant yet inviting atmosphere.
Next, the remodeled kitchen serves as the heart of the home. Custom cabinetry, raised ceilings, a fireplace, and French blue stone countertops combine beauty and function. Glass doors open to an impressive outdoor Viking kitchen with stone flooring, a beamed ceiling with heaters, and a fire pit. As a result, you can entertain while enjoying unforgettable sunset views.
The spacious family room offers another gathering space. It features vaulted ceilings and a limestone fireplace. In addition, a separate catering kitchen includes stainless steel counters and professional-grade appliances.
Finally, the private east wing provides a peaceful retreat. It includes the luxurious primary suite, two additional view bedrooms, and a full bath. The property also offers a fourth bedroom suite, guest quarters, a mosaic-tiled pool and spa, and two separate garages.
