1335 Columbia Drive

In Adams Hill, this stunning 1955 post-and-beam home by architect Ragnvaldur Johnsen sits on a quiet hillside surrounded by thriving native flora and palm trees, with walls of glass, a hillside sauna, and an adjacent 9,611 sq ft lot included in the sale. A striking example of atomic-era architecture, the residence has been rigorously restored, bringing every detail into the present. Ten-foot sloped ceilings and walls of floor-to-ceiling glass frame sweeping treetop and mountain views; solid oak flooring, wood beams, and period fixtures impress throughout. The kitchen has been completely updated with a butcher block top, stainless appliances, and capacious storage. Two bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms are exquisitely finished, one with a full tub and walk-in shower. A lower-level studio holds a bathroom and laundry, a flexible space for guests, entertaining, or work. The interplay between indoors and outdoors is seamless at every turn as the decks extend the living space outside, and an elevated patio and sauna take in treetops, hillside, and mountains beyond. Systems include central heat and air, and a two-car garage with EV charging. You are a short hop from Glendale's Americana at Brand and downtown dining scene, plus all the restaurants and shops of nearby Atwater Village and Eagle Rock.
