Architect Boyd Georgi designed the Modernist style house for Melvin Joseph McKently and Doris nee Bashor McKently in 1951. The 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in 2242 sq. ft. is currently (February 2020) listed for sale for $1,395,000 and described as " Georgi was attracted to this project by the owners stated goals, a modern design on the smaller of the two parcels that would allow them to preserve the larger lot as a private garden next to the historic Verdugo Adobe. Today, the preserved mid-century home and its two parcels are still under the stewardship of the McKently family.
The living room is the heart of the house with its original mahogany built-ins and trim, free standing fireplace with a chair-high hearth, and the wall of glass looking out to the lush gardens. The kitchen has been tastefully updated and opens to the original formal dining room".
The McKenlty House is located at 2223 Bonita Drive in the Verdugo Woodlands neighborhood of Glendale, California. Please do not use this image in any media without my permission. © All rights reserved.
