430 W Walnut Avenue is a beautiful traditional home located in one of the sought after neighborhoods in Monrovia. This modern spacious two-story home is presented in turn key condition. Nestled on a quiet street with only four units, this home is only a few minutes from old town Monrovia, close to grocery markets, restaurants, shops and minutes' drive to the restaurants and shops in Arcadia. Built in 1990 with an L shaped backyard, this cozy home offers 1990 sqft living space with three bedrooms, three baths and one office/study, which can be used as a 4th bedroom if needed as the closet and a full bath are just across the hallway. Entering from the front door, the high-ceiling living room greets you to the formal dining area. The kitchen is conveniently located next with granite counter tops and breakfast bar open to the family room. The French sliding doors in the family room, with gas operated fireplace, leads out to the spacious back patio/yard with fruit trees. The L-shaped backyard is big enough to host BBQ parties for entertaining. Upstairs, the current owners tastefully converted the middle bedroom into a walk-in closet for the primary en-suite (the sellers will show how to convert it back to be a bedroom if needed). So, there are two spacious en-suites upstairs with linen closets and space for a desk on the hallway. The primary suite, bath with double sink vanity, separate shower/bathtub/toilet, also has access to the south facing balcony. The 2-car attached garage is spacious with lots of storage space and cabinets as well as the hook-up for washer and dryer. The entire upstairs is carpeted and downstairs with laminated hardwood floors. The entire house is equipped with water softener device and the roof was replaced earlier this year. This is a sweet and well kept home with bright natural light. The self-managed HOA-Walnut Ave. HOA (4 families have taken turns to collect and pay the bills for trash and water, backflow check and occasional driveway improvement) is incredibly low in maintenance for only $125 per month. Don't miss this opportunity to own this sweet home in turn-key condition in a very peaceful, friendly and safe location in Monrovia.

Condition Rating
Fair

The property, built in 1990, is well-maintained and described as 'turn-key' with a recently replaced roof. However, while the kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher), the white gas range, traditional cherry-toned cabinets, and light ceramic tile flooring/backsplash appear dated, likely from a renovation 15-20 years ago. Similarly, the bathrooms have granite-topped vanities and tiled showers, but the cabinet style, tile, and light fixtures also suggest an older renovation. The laminated hardwood floors downstairs are a positive, but the overall aesthetic in key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms, while functional and clean, shows signs of being outdated rather than modern. This aligns with a 'Fair' condition, indicating it's aged but maintained, with functional components that show signs of being outdated, and would benefit from minor updates to bring it to current styles.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Turnkey Condition & Recent Upgrades: The home is presented in 'turn key condition' with significant recent upgrades including a roof replacement earlier this year and a whole-house water softener device, minimizing immediate buyer expenses.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Located in a sought-after, quiet neighborhood in Monrovia, just minutes from Old Town Monrovia, grocery markets, restaurants, and shops, offering excellent convenience and desirability.
Flexible Floor Plan & Spacious Interiors: Features a high-ceiling living room, formal dining area, an office/study convertible to a 4th bedroom, and two spacious en-suites upstairs, providing versatile living arrangements for various needs.
Low & Self-Managed HOA: An incredibly low HOA fee of $125 per month for a self-managed 4-unit community offers cost-effective maintenance and a close-knit neighborhood feel without the typical high HOA burdens.
Private Outdoor & Entertainment Space: The property boasts a spacious L-shaped backyard with fruit trees, ideal for BBQ parties and entertaining, complemented by a south-facing balcony off the primary suite.

Cons

Limited Lot Size: With a lot size of 2696 sqft, the outdoor space is relatively compact for a single-family residence, potentially limiting extensive landscaping or larger recreational activities.
Modified Bedroom Configuration: One upstairs bedroom has been converted into a walk-in closet for the primary suite, reducing the immediate functional bedroom count on the upper level, which may require conversion back for some buyers.
Absence of Central AC Mention: The detailed description does not explicitly mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback or concern for buyers in Southern California's climate, especially for a 1990-built home.
