The most expensive home sold in Glendale in April 2019 was 1390 Greenmont Dr. This stunning architectural home sold for $1,888,000 in less than three weeks after being on the market the second time. This luxury Glendale home was originally listed in 2018 for $1,995,000. The listing temporarily went on hold in the MLS after just 38 days on the market. Opting for a hold instead of canceling provides privacy benefits. If a listing expires or is canceled in the MLS, the owner may receive numerous solicitations from local real estate agents. Some services even sell these phone numbers to real estate offices, selling both home and cell phone numbers. Occasionally, there may be confusion, leading to the sale of contacts belonging to ex-spouses as well.
The real estate agent canceled this listing in February 2019 and subsequently relisted it. The “improved” list price was $1,849,000. This Glendale beauty sold and closed in just thirty-nine days.
MLS Remarks for 1390 Greenmont Dr read:
James Langenheim, a former draftsman for John Lautner, later designed the iconic LAX Theme Building. In 1959, he accepted a residential commission for a secluded parcel overlooking Oakmont CC. His mid-century masterpiece features interlocking hexagons that open to a private yard with mountain vistas.
The entry leads to a spacious six-sided living room with original art panels, an aircraft metal fireplace hood, and a blown concrete ceiling. The family and dining room have a vaulted ceiling, hooded fireplace, black terrazzo floors, and a full wet bar with a pass-through to the custom chef’s kitchen.
The large master suite has a stone fireplace, two dressing areas, and a marbled tiled bath. Preserving the original design, the other two bedrooms feature ensuite baths. In 2007, Langenheim returned to design the guest house, featuring a hexagonal office, a large bedroom suite, and a private sauna.
Upgrades include updated plumbing and electrical panels, two HVAC systems, and solar power. Additional features include a hexagonal pool and patio cover, a 3-car carport with an electrical charger, full house water filtration, and a hidden phone booth.
