The property is exceptionally well-maintained with modern system upgrades including central HVAC and solar.

Sited on a premier, tree-lined street in highly desirable North Monrovia, this single-story Spanish Craftsman blend beautifully captures classic character and exceptional potential. A well-manicured front lawn leads to a large, covered front porch that offers an ideal setting for relaxing and enjoying a quiet afternoon. Inside, the spacious living room centers around a handsome fireplace adorned with decorative accent tiles, flanked by doors that open directly to a serene, central courtyard patio. A cozy, adjacent den area provides the perfect nook for a home library or media space, while classic French doors separate the formal dining room from the kitchen and dedicated breakfast area—offering an excellent layout and blank canvas to create a future chef’s kitchen.

Throughout the residence, gleaming hardwood floors, central air and heating, and an eco-friendly solar system ensure modern comfort meets timeless charm. The outdoor spaces are designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living, centered around a charming courtyard patio where three separate areas of the home converge, all set to the soothing sounds of a built-in water fountain. Beyond this central hub, the rear yard opens up to a grassy expanse with plenty of space for a future garden or play area. Tucked securely behind a driveway gate sits a detached two-car garage, offering ample parking and excellent storage. Combining architectural character, a highly functional layout, and a prime neighborhood location, this North Monrovia gem is a rare find.
