Yes, it is pretty tacky and over-the-top in a “Beverly Hillbillies” kinda way but you know, I think this could be a real steal. No kidding. First of all, not sure if you want to live in Glendale, but this “neoclassical palace” sits atop its own promontory in the College Hills neighborhood. It really has GREAT views and the house, with some updating could be AMAZING –in a good way. Don’t be like those folks on HGTV that can’t see past wall color (It’s PAINT PEOPLE!) This place is SO bad, it’s spectacular. You ALWAYS remodel the kitchen and bathrooms anyway, so forget those. (You’d think with THAT much marble they might have put it in the kitchen instead of that counter tile?) Anyway, there are six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a mini-art gallery, and enough columns for your own coliseum. It’s 4,444-square-foot and it sits on half an acre. Full disclosure, this place has been on and off the market for the past decade, for as much as $9 million. But it was recently re-listed with a bargain price tag of just $1.995 million. The 80s are back anyway, so if you don’t want to get into a heavy remodel (and especially if you like early Scarface decor) you can just bring your blowdryer, your machine-gun and your toothbrush.
