Built in 1953 as the personal residence of former Glendale Mayor and attorney George R. Wickham, this 3,294-square-foot architectural gem seamlessly blends classic California Ranch design with iconic Mid-Century Modern style. Centered around a private courtyard and enhanced by interiors and outdoor spaces redesigned by Jeff Lewis of Bravo's Flipping Out, the home offers walls of glass, resort-style amenities, and sweeping panoramic views.
From the street, the home presents as simple and understated, with a low-pitched roofline, wide overhanging eaves, and a two-car garage. Classic geometric breeze blocks and a custom pergola hint at the Mid-Century Modern influences found throughout the property.
Passing through the front gate reveals a private, internally focused floor plan arranged around a stunning central courtyard. A tranquil water feature serves as an open-air entrance hall, creating a seamless connection between architecture and landscape. Inside, the main living spaces unfold in an open, linear arrangement anchored by a dramatic double-sided fireplace. Polished concrete floors and exposed post-and-beam tongue-and-groove ceilings further reinforce the home's timeless Mid-Century character.
The chef's kitchen, designed and installed by Jeff Lewis, features a 36-inch Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator, beverage refrigerator, ice maker, dual sinks, abundant storage, and spectacular views.
The thoughtfully designed four-bedroom layout offers flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. A private guest or mother-in-law suite occupies the east wing, while two additional bedrooms and a shared bath on the west side can be closed off for added privacy. The spacious primary suite enjoys panoramic views, a spa-inspired curbless “car wash” shower, and an expansive walk-in closet created from a former fifth bedroom.
Walls of glass surround three sides of the central courtyard, while the entire southern elevation opens to breathtaking views and an effortless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Also redesigned by Jeff Lewis, the resort-inspired backyard features an expansive entertaining deck, sparkling pool, hot tub, fire pit, and unforgettable sunset vistas.
A rare offering that combines architectural pedigree, local history, modern updates, and exceptional livability in one of Glendale's most distinctive residences. Mix a martini, put on some Frank Sinatra, and enjoy the sunset from your own private retreat.

Our homes represent a place of safe haven to each of us; a place where we nurture and store the memories that matter most. I understand that a home holds and reflects the value of your life’s investment.

Today, my attention to detail, honesty, and love for what I do, have become the focus of how I can best serve you.
