Glendale, CA 91202 1521 N Columbus Avenue

Once in a great while, you encounter something truly exceptional--something that has withstood the test of time. Designated at No. 9 in the City's Historic Landmark Registry, the Toll House stands as a beacon of architectural mastery. Crafted by renowned architect Charles E. Shattuck, this estate is perhaps the finest example of California Bungalow architecture in the world. Protected by the Mills Act and providing incredible property tax savings, this property underwent a meticulous restoration process that lasted over five years blending modern comfort with an unapologetic classic character. Nothing compares to the grandeur and sheer scale of this place. Sitting on over an acre of flat land, the main house boasts nearly 7,000 sf of historic authenticity and luxurious refinement spanning from the gourmet kitchen with a Brazilian blue granite island to the library, billiard room, and the two Batchelder tile fireplaces. Outdoors, the property is an entertainer's dream with an oversized heated pool and a fully remodeled patio. The circular driveway with two gates provides easy access to a fully remodeled 850-square-foot guest house, a 518-square-foot maid's home, and a three-car garage. This is more than just a home--it's a legacy.
