Last month, the most expensive Glendale home sale was 1644 Grandview Ave. This luxury home was originally listed at $3,750,0000. Later reduced to $3,400,000. And again reduced to $3,325,000 which was the final selling price. There’s more to the history of this luxury Glendale home than meets the eye. It has to do with specific performance… more on that later.

The sellers purchased the home for $1,800,000 in 2007 as a tear down. The home had previously sold in 2006 for $1,600,000.
This luxury Glendale home has a back story. The estate was purchased by flippers in 2005 for $950,000.
Landmark Glendale Estate
At that time this beautiful Monterey Colonial had been very poorly maintained. But the home had good bones on a beautiful large level lot with tennis court, pool and pool house. Escrow was opened and after several weeks into the transaction the seller changed her mind and no longer wanted to sell. The flippers successfully sued the seller for specific performance which meant the seller was compelled to honor the signed contract. They closed escrow in 2006 for the $950,000 price which was a great price for this landmark Glendale Estate.
