Be the second-ever owner of this warm 1970s Glendale post and beam

Take one look at this dreamy Glendale post and beam, and it's easy to see why it's only had one owner in its 40-year existence.

Designed by architect Richard Kemp as his own family residence, this 1978 classic is ideally situated to cantilever over a creek. The home is encircled by oaks and sycamores, and the handsome interiors echo their surroundings with beamed ceilings and a wealth of gleaming wood. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the outside in.

The house holds four bedrooms, three retro-cool bathrooms, a spacious kitchen (with what look to be original cabinets), and, over the fireplace, a stylish copper mantel.

The dwelling sits on a 1.4-acre property tucked into Glendale's Scholl Canyon, an area north of the 134 Freeway and the famous Eagle Rock formation.

The house is listed for $1.595 million.
