3138 Glenmanor Place is a lovingly restored Spanish-style home tucked into one of Atwater Village’s sweetest residential pockets. The single-story floor plan spans approximately 1,600 square feet and retains compelling original features — exposed beamed ceilings, graceful arches, decorative tile, hardwood floors and stained-glass accents — while delivering modern reliability: updated electrical and plumbing, foundation work and seismic retrofitting, plus solar panels for reduced energy cost. The living and dining rooms flow naturally for everyday living and entertaining, and built-in millwork and vintage light fixtures give each room a distinct sense of history and warmth.
Three well-proportioned bedrooms and two thoughtfully updated baths offer comfortable family living. Skylights and thoughtfully placed windows keep the public rooms bright without compromising privacy. Practical upgrades are already in place: improved mechanicals, documented structural reinforcement and an on-site solar installation. Off-street gated parking for two cars includes EV charging — a premium convenience in this part of the city.
Outdoors the property shines. A front patio and multiple backyard rooms create options for morning coffee, alfresco dining and larger gatherings. The landscape is intentionally productive: mature grape vines and fruit trees (pomegranate, lemon, fig, plum and avocado) provide seasonal abundance, and sculptural succulents and established plantings deliver low-maintenance texture. The generous 4,800-square-foot lot feels large for the neighborhood and gives room for gardening, play and privacy.
Location is a central draw. Walk to Atwater Village’s cafés, boutiques, weekly farmers market and neighborhood restaurants. Easy access to the Los Angeles River bike paths, Glendale, Silver Lake and major arteries keeps central LA within convenient reach. If you value authentic character combined with contemporary peace of mind, this home is a rare find.
