1325 Romulus Dr

Perched at the top of the street in the sought-after Adams Hill neighborhood of Glendale, this unique hillside retreat offers two distinct living levels: a one-bedroom, one-bath upper residence and a two-bedroom, one-bath lower level with kitchenette, for which plans have been issued for a Junior ADU. Thoughtfully transformed by its creative owners into an inspired and artful compound, this property has been reimagined from its earlier life and now offers two separate living spaces that blend character, flexibility, and a strong connection to the outdoors. Enter from the street into the upper residence, a bright one-bedroom, one-bath space where the living, dining, and kitchen areas flow together with warmth and style. The kitchen features wood countertops and a ZLINE range, creating a beautiful and functional heart of the home. A cozy bedroom and striking bathroom finished in rich black and mauve tones add personality and charm. Sliding glass doors open from the kitchen onto a deck with sweeping hillside views overlooking the lush garden below. Outside, stairs lead down to the lower level, where two additional bedrooms and a bath create a versatile secondary living area. One room includes a kitchenette, while the other features warm wood parquet floors. The bathroom showcases distinctive concrete tile, and glass French doors from each room open directly to the garden, filling the spaces with light and greenery. The garden is the heart of the property, designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living. Terraced pathways wind through mature succulents and fruit trees including lemon, tangerine, and peach. At the center stands a magnificent avocado tree with a deck built around its trunk, creating a magical treehouse-like perch to relax, entertain, or enjoy sunset views. Artful, flexible, and filled with soul, this special hillside property offers a one-of-a-kind lifestyle in Adams Hill, one of Glendale's most beloved neighborhoods known for its quiet hillside streets, creative community, and sweeping views, with easy access to Atwater Village, Eagle Rock, and Glassell Park.
