Mid-Century Modern! Local attorney George R. Wickham, a former city council member and mayor of Glendale from 1950-51, built this courtyard home for himself in 1953. The 3,294 sq. ft. home is an exceptional mix of both a traditional California ranch house and a sleek midcentury modern (MCM). From the street, The Wickham home presents as a simple and unassuming stucco home with a 2-car garage. The low-pitched gable roof and wide overhanging eves give it the low, horizontal emphasis typical of a California ranch. At the same time, the classic square-within-square breeze block and geometric pergola are unmistakably MCM. Passing through the front gate, the home is protected and internally focused, with its rooms arranged around a beautiful central courtyard. A central water feature used to access the front door serves as the home's open-air entrance hall. Inside, the living area is arranged in linear fashion, anchored by a double-sided fireplace, but without walls; to reinforce the MCM feel. The modern and upgraded kitchen, designed and installed by designer to the stars Jeff Lewis of Bravo's "Flipping Out", has all the necessary amenities: 36" Wolf stove, Subzero side-by-side refrigerator, beverage fridge, ice maker, two individual sinks and million-dollar views!The 4-bedrooms are well distributed to accommodate larger or extended families. The east side of the home features a quaint mother-in-law bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. The west side of the home has two bedrooms, serviced by one bathroom, that can be closed off for privacy from the rest of the home via a hallway door. The primary bedroom is large, with magical views, a full "carwash" style shower and a 5th bedroom that was converted into a vast walk-in closet. The luxurious backyard, also designed by Jeff Lewis, features an extended deck, inground pool, hot tub, firepit and forever views. The Wickham home was built and lovingly improved for comfort, style and sophistication. The floors are no maintenance polished concrete. The ceilings are quintessential MCM with exposed post supporting tongue-and-groove planks. All three bathrooms feature dam-less shower entries and two boast classic MCM 1x1 Ann Sacks tile. Three sides of the home are surrounded by glass facing the central courtyard and water feature. The southside of the home is all glass - highlighting the views and seamlessly blending the outside space with the interior. Enjoy the view from your new home!
