Last month, July 2022, the most expensive home sold in Glendale was 1330 N. Louise St. This 1915-built craftsman, known as the “The Elliott House”, originally listed for $2,995,000. Subsequently, it sold in twenty-four days for $3,050,000. The seller purchased this home in 2017 for $1,385,000.00. Certainly, quite a profit! However, note in the MLS remarks regarding the updates made to this luxurious residence. As the home seller was Weichert Realty, I believe this to be another Disney Relocation.
Marketing Remarks for 1330 N. Louise St. Glendale read:
Fall in love with ‘The Elliott House! A historic two-story Craftsman home built in 1915 on a large corner lot by Ralph R. Wilcox for the Elliott family. Greeted first by mature landscaping, notice the home’s many traditional details, such as the multiple low-pitched roof gables with flared ridges or the wide overhanging eaves with exposed rafter tails. The wraparound porch provides an additional ample, shaded entertaining space. The Dutch-door entry leads you into the spacious Living Room with newly installed wood floors, extensive wood detailing, custom-built doors, and a stunning Batchelder fireplace.
An original wood and glass pocket door, hand-detailed, opens to a cozy den with a second working Batchelder fireplace. Across the living room, another original wood-and-glass pocket door leads to the captivating dining room. It is adorned with built-in cabinets and sunlight from various windows, all with their original wood casings. The Kitchen, an entertainer’s dream, has been recently remodeled with Thermador appliances, granite countertops, and a large center island with a walnut butcher block countertop and counter seating. Custom cabinetry in the kitchen offers plenty of extra storage, and two sets of French doors open to the private backyard. Also, on the main floor, the oversized Primary Room features hardwood floors, custom closets, an original patio door, and views of the lush backyard gardens.

The Backyard, fully reimagined, is your private, tranquil oasis. Enjoy year-round entertaining on the patio or relax next to the roaring fireplace.

The Gathering room features an awning-style window and an original Garage door that slides open. The kitchen in the ADU features granite countertops, a dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, nugget ice machine, and a split A/C system.
