1640 Ard Eevin Avenue: A Tudor Revival Masterpiece Welcome to No. 82 on Glendale's Register of Historic Resources—a stunning 1924 Tudor Revival home in the prestigious Historic Ard Eevin District. This architectural gem tells the captivating story of early Glendale, built during the transformation of Daniel Campbell Sr.'s grand Irish estate "Ard Eevin" (meaning "delightful peak") into one of the city's most exclusive neighborhoods. The home's striking brick facade and authentic period details showcase nearly a century of preserved craftsmanship, featuring gleaming original hardwood floors with decorative mahogany inlays, exposed beams, character niches, and pointed archways that create elegant transitions between bright, welcoming spaces. Modern luxury seamlessly blends with historic charm throughout this entertainer's paradise. Two sets of French doors open from the living room onto a pergola-shaded patio with an indoor/outdoor sound system, while the resort-style backyard features a pool, spa, charming footbridge, and fully equipped outdoor kitchen with built-in grill, bar, keg fridge, and dual taps. Inside, the Viking range and Sub-Zero kitchen, downstairs guest suite with pool-access bath, and upstairs primary suite with walk-in closets provide contemporary comfort. The neighboring bedroom retains original built-in closets and vanity, showcasing the home's authentic 1920s character. Currently benefiting from Mills Act tax savings, this historic treasure sits perfectly between Kenneth Village (home to Coffee Commissary and Village French Bakery) and expansive Brand Park & Library. As a contributing property to the proposed Ard Eevin Highlands Historic District, 1640 Ard Eevin Avenue offers discerning buyers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Glendale's architectural heritage while enjoying all the amenities of luxury modern living. Current annual property taxes reported as approximately $400, per assessor records. Buyer to verify
