Welcome to an exceptional dual-residence property set on an expansive lot of nearly 32,000 square feet flat lot, in one of Monrovia’s quiet and private north of foothill properties. This unique offering features two large homes with tremendous versatility for multi-generational living, income potential, or a private compound setting. A long gated driveway provides seclusion from the street and offers parking for 10+ vehicles, complemented by a detached two-car garage. The beautiful front yard is a standout feature, with lush, green, carpet-like landscaping where deer are often seen relaxing in the mornings, a rare and peaceful daily experience. The main home spans approximately 3,154 sq. ft. and features 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, including an oversized primary suite with a spacious sitting area and an en-suite bath. There is also a separate office (not counted among the 4 bedrooms), perfect for working from home or creating a dedicated study or hobby room. The kitchen is bright and functional, offering stainless steel appliances, a commercial-grade stove, and updated copper plumbing and electrical systems. Additional improvements include newer windows throughout, a newer roof, and a tankless water heater. Central A/C and heat service the property for year-round comfort. The second home, built in the early 2000s, features over 1,600 sq. ft. of living space with a large 1-bedroom layout, that can be configured to multiple bedrooms. This home has been approved to install a separate electrical meter (water and gas currently shared), providing flexibility for future use, tenant separation, or rental income. It also includes its own tankless water heater, A/C and heat, and newer windows. Both homes enjoy separate yard spaces, with ample room to install a pool, garden, play area, or outdoor entertaining zones if desired. Recent major improvement items include an epoxy sleeve liner on both sewer lines for both properties (completed approximately two years ago), adding long-term protection and peace of mind for future owners. Located in a serene and quiet neighborhood yet close to local amenities, this property offers the best of privacy and convenience. It’s rare to find this much usable space, square footage, and functional separation between dwellings on one lot in Monrovia. A truly unique opportunity with flexibility, privacy, and room to grow. Perfect for extended families, investors, or buyers seeking space and potential in a highly desirable location.

Condition Rating
Good

The property, while featuring a main home built in 1949, has undergone extensive and recent system updates, including newer windows, roof, tankless water heaters, updated copper plumbing and electrical systems, central A/C and heat, and a sewer line epoxy liner completed just two years ago. The second residence, built in the early 2000s, is also relatively modern. The main kitchen boasts high-end stainless steel appliances and a commercial-grade stove, though the cabinet style and backsplash are somewhat dated. The bathrooms in both units appear updated with modern fixtures and are in good condition. Overall, the property is move-in ready with well-maintained systems and no immediate renovation required, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 4775, other record living area = 3154.
Shared Utilities for Second Unit: While the second home is approved for a separate electrical meter, water and gas utilities are currently shared, which may complicate independent tenancy or cost allocation.
Age Discrepancy: The main home was built in 1949, contrasting with the second home built in the early 2000s, which might present differing maintenance needs or aesthetic preferences for some buyers.
Second Unit Bedroom Configuration: The second home is currently configured as a large 1-bedroom, requiring potential modifications to achieve a multi-bedroom layout for increased rental income or larger family accommodation.
