Although originally built in 1948, the property has undergone significant recent renovations that appear to be within the last 5 years. Visual evidence shows a modern primary suite with recessed lighting, contemporary flooring, and a fully updated ensuite bathroom with designer tiling. The inclusion of solar panels suggests modernized electrical systems, and the exterior maintenance, including the roof and detached structures, is in mint condition.
Situated north of Foothill Boulevard in a highly desirable neighborhood, the property offers immediate access to scenic hiking trails, parks, and the popular shopping and dining district of Old Town Monrovia.
The home features beautifully preserved 1940s architectural details, including original hardwood floors and a striking river rock fireplace, offering a blend of historic charm and modern comfort.
In addition to the main residence, the property includes a detached shed and garage that provide flexible options for a creative studio, home office, or workshop, maximizing the utility of the lot.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1460, other record living area = 1282.
The property only offers a detached one-car garage, which may be a drawback for multi-vehicle households or those requiring significant covered storage.
With 1,460 square feet of living space, the home is relatively compact for a three-bedroom residence at this price point, which may feel restrictive for larger families.
