What's around 1024 East Walnut Avenue

About this property

The 'Humming-Byrd' house is a fabulously preserved and improved architectural home enveloped by an enchanting wildlife habitat garden. This 1955-built home designed by celebrated mid-century architect Robert Byrd and built by William Mellenthin boasts endless character features, recently-installed pool and spa, and unbelievable gardens teeming with hummingbirds. A thriving Sequoia tree, split rail fencing and massive granite boulders act as sculptural anchors to the front yard, complemented by a symphony of fragrance and color from the native plant garden. From the handsome wood plank siding and quintessential Storybook Ranch birdhouse cupola atop the garage, to the diamond & triangle motif in windows and front door, this property is something very special. Inside, the 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is a beautiful showcase of classic Mellenthin details: original knotty pine paneling, an interior Dutch door, and vaulted shiplap ceilings, all celebrated in their natural glory. Unique crafted elements include turned wood posts separating living and dining rooms, turned finials in the upper corners of the third Bedroom/'convertible Den' Family Room, and the piece de resistance: heart-detail pine shutters in the southeast window of the primary bedroom. The ultimate in mid-century architectural fantasy, a full moon will cast two hearts of light that glide across the bedroom floor over the course of the night. Bedrooms are generous with sunny views of the gardens and all of the native fauna it attracts, with the Den/Family Room serving as the third bedroom if desired. Living and Dining rooms enjoy unobstructed backyard pool views through wraparound windows, with the scent of jasmine and orange blossom drifting in from the backyard. Hardwood floors flow from the entry throughout the home, with tiled bathrooms and kitchen featuring cool custom patterned Marmoleum. Modern updates matter too. See the recently-installed stone countertops. Updates to systems include tankless hot water heater, hvac, whole house fan, EV charging, and 540 SF heated pool and spa with automatic cover installed in 2022. Life at the top of Walnut Avenue is defined by quiet, privacy, nature and access to the conveniences of Burbank, including schools, retail, restaurants and proximity to studios and greater LA. This is the ultimate in southern California lifestyle!
