As an experienced Glendale real estate professional, I keep close tabs on the market. In April 2025, the most expensive home sold in Glendale was 3205 Cornwall Dr. This luxury home was initially listed for $3,995,000 and sold for $3,749,000. The sale took nearly two months. After reviewing tax records, it appears the sellers inherited the property in 1996.
Marketing for 3205 Cornwall Dr Glendale:
Designed by Greg Crawford, AIA, this gated architectural compound sits on a peaceful 1.6-acre lot at the end of a quiet lane in Glendale’s desirable Chevy Chase Canyon. It’s ideally located near both Pasadena and La Cañada. Initially built in 1940 as a French Normandy-style home, the property underwent a complete renovation with several additions. The goal: to honor the past while embracing the new. The home is hidden from the street and reveals a striking blend of architectural forms.
The original structure’s leafy green exterior blends into the wooded surroundings. In contrast, the white stucco and glass additions stand out, connecting cleanly to the expansive natural landscape. Crawford’s background in designing art spaces and his love for modern aesthetics are evident. Light, texture, and warmth define the home’s interiors. From the entry courtyard, the house opens into a grand living room with floor-to-ceiling glass. The view stretches into the lush, sunlit canyons beyond. Adjacent, the dining area features lower ceilings and heated concrete floors, adding intimacy to the open layout.
A central hallway, framed by expansive windows, draws nature inside. It leads to terraced outdoor spaces and begins a thoughtful transition through the home: from open to private, bright to serene.
The kitchen and family area boast soaring ceilings. A cozy pantry, bar, and tucked-away breakfast nook create balance and warmth. Cork floors and earth-toned finishes add a natural feel, complementing the woodwork and cabinetry. Off the hall, a powder room and den lead to the home’s private wing. A sitting room and library offer a quiet retreat, flanked by two bedrooms and a shared bath.
Downstairs, the primary suite spans the lower level. It features a walk-through closet, a sitting area, and a spa-like bathroom with a soaking tub—both overlooking stunning views.
Outside, the 4,553 sq ft home connects deeply with its setting. Multiple decks and terraces invite you to enjoy the forested hills. A newly renovated plunge pool anchors the lower level.
A permitted ADU, added in 2019, adds versatility. The property also features a motor court, citrus grove, and vegetable garden. Gated and private, it’s the last home on a peaceful street—offering a true sense of retreat.
