This Multi-Generational Residential Asset is currently listed at $1,649,000, which is positioned above the $1,342,819 Fair Market Value.

The dual-access lot provides unique flexibility for long-term value-add projects.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Although the property features a recently updated kitchen with professional-grade appliances and several renovated living spaces, the 1911 structure includes at least one room completely gutted to the studs. This indicates significant unfinished rehab work and potential plumbing/electrical integration needs that prevent it from being fully move-in ready.
The home features a private second-level retreat with a separate exterior entry, kitchenette, and full bathroom, making it ideal for extended family, long-term guests, or potential rental income.
This 1911 residence preserves timeless craftsman details like coffered ceilings and built-in buffets while offering a fully remodeled kitchen with professional-grade appliances and updated bathrooms.
The property boasts a rare dual-access lot with rear entry from Chestnut Avenue and a freestanding flex structure, providing valuable space for a home office, studio, or workshop.
Given the home's 1911 construction date, buyers may face higher maintenance requirements or the need for future upgrades to underlying systems like plumbing and electrical compared to newer builds.
While situated on a desirable tree-lined street, the property lacks the elevated mountain or city light views that are often a primary draw for premium listings in the Monrovia area.
In the heart of Monrovia, welcome to multi-generational living at its finest. Set on a rare tree-lined cul-de-sac, this charming 1911 residence blends timeless appeal with modern versatility. The main living areas showcase warm hardwood floors, wide cased openings, and coffered ceiling details that frame the space with stunning craftsmanship. A formal dining room is anchored by classic wainscoting and a striking built-in buffet, creating a beautiful setting for both everyday living and special holidays. Just beyond, the kitchen continues the home’s balance of character and function, featuring crisp white cabinetry, upgraded stainless steel appliances, and a Cosmo professional-style range with custom hood. Natural stone flooring flows into the sunlit breakfast nook, offering a warm and inviting space for morning coffee, casual meals, and views of the surrounding greenery. The downstairs layout includes three bedrooms, including a generous primary suite complete with direct backyard access. Two remodeled bathrooms serve this main level with new white shaker-style vanities, stone counters and matte black accents. Upstairs is where the home truly reveals its possibilities. Ascend to a private second-level retreat that lives nearly like its own apartment-style space, complete with a spacious bedroom, private bathroom, oversized closet, and dedicated kitchenette. A roof-adjacent outdoor perch adds a little bit of nostalgia, offering a classic treetop moment that feels tucked away from the rest of the home. With a separate exterior entry, this level is ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or a private work-from-home suite. Stay close while still enjoying privacy and independence. Outdoor living is a breeze in the private, fully gated backyard framed by mature Italian cypress, towering pine, and a fruiting tangerine tree that adds a sweet Southern California touch. With brick hardscape, patio areas, and open lawn, the space invites everything from easy entertaining to quiet mornings in the sun. And just when the property feels complete, it reveals another layer: rear access from Chestnut Avenue. Enter through these rear gates to find a bonus freestanding structure offering valuable flex space. This is the kind of property that meets you where you are and grows with where you are going. If you can dream it, you can see it here. Come see 517 King Street today.
