1225 N Granada Ave

A single-story, mid-century garden condominium complex built in 1965, composed of low-rise, house-like units organized around private patios and a central atrium concept. Architect/builder attribution on many units traces to local mid-century practitioners Jack Norwood and Jack DeLonge, reflected in clean horizontal lines, large sliding glass doors, and an emphasis on indoor-outdoor flow. Individual residences are one-level floorplans (typically two to three bedrooms, one to two baths) with features such as vaulted or open ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, multiple sliding doors, a central atrium or courtyard, and original mid-century materials updated with contemporary finishes. Interiors commonly include a primary suite on the main level, eat-in kitchens with built-in cabinetry and quartz or dark granite counters, recessed lighting, crown molding, and fireplaces or brick hearths. Exterior environment emphasizes mature landscaping, private garden patios, and community greenways; a shared swimming pool and poolside lounging area serve residents. Parking is provided via attached or detached two-car garages per unit, and the homeowners association handles landscaping, exterior maintenance, water, trash, sewer and insurance for a monthly fee. The complex sits on the San Marino border in Alhambra, offering a suburban, walkable neighborhood feel close to local shops, dining, and cultural destinations like The Huntington Library.
