881 Cumberland Rd, Glendale, CA 91202

Located in the heart of the North Cumberland Heights Historic District, this 1937 American Colonial Revival residence blends period charm with contemporary style. Meticulously updated - including all major systems - the home features striking designer wallpaper, refined color schemes, custom curtains, new built-in bookshelves, and fully renovated kitchen. The four-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom home retains all the hallmark characteristics of Colonial architecture: a smooth stucco exterior, balanced symmetrical facade, original double-hung wood windows, a five-light paneled front door, recessed central entry, dormers above second-story windows, and a classic bandcourse that elegantly defines the two levels. Inside, a gracious layout unfolds: the formal living room with gas fireplace and the family room sit to one side of the central staircase, while the dining room opens seamlessly to a modernized kitchen on the other. All four bedrooms are located upstairs, including the primary suite with its private bathroom and walk-in dressing room. One of the bedrooms includes a built-in desk and can serve as either an office or a bedroom. Situated on an expansive lot, the backyard is a private oasis featuring a sunlit pool and a guesthouse perched just above a lush lawn. Designed in a similar architectural style, the guesthouse ties the compound together. Set behind the two-car garage, it offers a full ADU with kitchen, bath, laundry, and private entry, ideal for long-term guests or rental opportunities. Sustainably equipped with owned solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall battery, the main residence supports energy-efficient living and pool heating. The home has also recently undergone seismic retrofitting.
