A rare offering in Glassell Park, this magnificent Spanish estate spans five lots, commanding a prime hillside position with breathtaking views that stretch to the horizon. Designed in 1928 by Robert D. Jones, A.I.A., the striking Cazador Castle evokes old-world glamour and California dreams, with an interior of stunning proportions. A turret entrance with stained glass opens to a sunken living room where oversized windows frame sublime vistas. Golden sunlight pours into spacious rooms, highlighting coved ceilings, hardwood floors, arched passthroughs, and updated kitchen with wood cabinetry and hand-painted tilework. Five bedrooms include a luxe primary suite with a scenic balcony; dedicated guest quarters provide versatility. The rambling grounds inspire with layered terraces, a storybook gazebo, and a picturesque treehouse. Conveniences include HVAC, a gated driveway + garage, and a basement for storage, just moments from Bub and Grandma's, Dunsmoor, and LA Homefarm.
