About This Home

1460 Melwood Drive

In 1926, at the height of Glendale's golden era of architectural expansion, Samuel G. McClure -- publisher and owner of the Glendale News Press -- purchased a prominent knoll overlooking the growing city below. With an eye for beauty and a taste for the grand, he commissioned the construction of a Spanish masterpiece that would blend the romanticism of old-world design with the grace of California living. Nearly a century later, this extraordinary residence remains one of Rossmoyne's most admired homes - a work of residential art that has stood the test of time. Much like the celebrated Kennedy House in Palo Alto, this residence is a stunning example of symmetrical Colonial Spanish architecture. The home's exterior is defined by its classic proportions and rich period details - handmade decorative tiles, original steel casement windows fitted with wrought-iron grilles, smooth stucco walls, and a series of graceful arches that repeat as a unifying motif both inside and out. Each element tells a story of craftsmanship and splashes of modern artistry enhancements. The stately entry introduces the home's grand scale and impeccable design sensibility. Beyond the foyer, a museum-like formal living room unfolds beneath a soaring wood-beamed ceiling. Light streams through the expansive picture window, illuminating wide-plank wood floors, a commanding fireplace, and a custom wet bar that invites evening conversation. Every corner reveals the thoughtful touch of artisans who had entertaining in mind. The remodeled kitchen reimagines tradition with modern luxury. Anchored by a 60-inch Thermador range, marble countertops, and elegant hardwood floors, it's a playground for the culinary enthusiast - equally suited to quiet breakfasts or grand dinner parties. The kitchen opens seamlessly to a spacious family room, creating a warm gathering space that overlooks the lush grounds and city views beyond. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite serves as a private retreat, framed by stunning vistas of downtown Los Angeles. The en suite bathroom & luxurious custom closet reflect a serene balance between historical charm & updated comfort. 3 additional bedroom suites with beautifully appointed baths complete the home's ideal floor plan, offering both privacy & flow for modern living. Outside, the architecture continues to inspire. A romantic loggia provides a shaded sanctuary for alfresco dining, while the sparkling pool & generous grassy yard invite relaxation & spectacular view
