3504 Downing AV Glendale CA 91208 | MLS #26990095

Some Homes Are Just Houses. This One Has a Soul. There’s something about 3504 Downing Avenue. Maybe it’s the classic curb appeal and old shade trees, or the way neighbors still wave from their porches. Sparr Heights has long been called the Mayberry of Glendale, and here, it’s easy to understand why. When you arrive at this 1920s California Bungalow, it feels as though it has always belonged right here. Mature trees, sage lap siding, navy front door, handsome brickwork, and original divided-light windows give the home a quiet beauty that only gets better with time. Inside, the warmth continues. A gracious living room, formal dining room, and large family room invite you to settle in and stay awhile. The thoughtfully updated kitchen, custom built-ins, and plenty of counter space. Four bedrooms and two bathrooms are arranged across 2,061 square feet, all set on a large, flat, private lot with a workshop with alley access to Ocean View Avenue. But the best part may be its story. The current owners arrived in 1976. For fifty years, they cared for this home, lived their lives here, and preserved the character that made them fall in love with it in the first place. Now, after half a century, it’s ready for its next chapter. This house feels like it has a lot more story left to tell.
