I wish I could shake Paul Quigley’s hand. In 1929 he purchased this large parcel right across the street from the Brand Family Estate, known as “Miradero”, and he commissioned the construction of this elegant Spanish traditional for he and his family to reside. He must have paid handsomely for the design as its subtle form belies the skill and gifted eye of its architect.
In the front courtyard and through the portico you are welcomed warmly at the custom mahogany front door. The formal entry opens to a grand formal living room with rich wood flooring, a high ceiling with exposed beams, custom built-ins, fireplace, and gracefully arched windows drinking in the beautiful surroundings. The dining room is formal as well with the same rich wood flooring and custom trim. Those who knew Pete of L&V Construction will recognize his detailed craftsmanship in the beautiful kitchen and its breakfast room.
The central hall leads to each of the three bedrooms and two baths on this main floor. The large primary bedroom overlooks the gorgeous rear grounds. There is a surprising downstairs as well with a wonderful home office with its own bath looking out over the rear grounds that could serve as a guest suite as well.
And then there is that huge rear yard with a simply stunning pool, spa, and lush landscaping creating a private back yard paradise. Just a few of the features include central heat and air conditioning, updated copper plumbing, an updated electrical panel and wiring, a two-car detached garage with a large outdoor entertaining area behind it, and, of course, the entire Brand Park and Library just across the street. This is one of the few archetypes of Spanish design that I have seen in NW Glendale.
