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.
MLS Remarks for 1611 Glenmont Dr. Glendale read: Resting upon a topographical wonder of over an acre of rare privacy and superior views. The Buchanan Estate is simply our ultimate location. Somehow both proximity and seclusion dance gracefully on this private knoll overlooking…everything. Even the entry through the Deer Run gate keeps the secret of this Shangri-La estate. One enters a massive motor court to find the grounds tastefully landscaped. Punctuated with outdoor art and tall palms. The sprawling one-story mid 50’s design of redwood, stone, and steel blends with the precious hillside. All the while taking full advantage of the gorgeous site lines. The formal entry opens to grand living and dining rooms. With herringbone floors, high ceilings, and floor to ceiling windows drinking in the views.
The remodeled kitchen is a showpiece of custom cabinetry, raised ceilings, fireplace, and French-blue stone counters. Tall glass doors from this culinary cathedral open to a stunning outdoor Viking kitchen with stone floor, beamed ceiling with heaters, and a fire pit all looking out to the sunset views. There is also an equally impressive family room with its own vaulted ceiling and limestone fireplace. These entertaining spaces are served by another full catering kitchen with stainless counters and appliances. The private East wing has the master suite rooms as well as two additional view bedrooms and bath. There is also: 4th bedroom suite, guest quarters, mosaic tiled pool and spa, and two separate garages.
