Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1925, this home is well-maintained but features a dated kitchen with older wood cabinetry and vintage tiling likely exceeding 20-30 years in age. The presence of a wall heater indicates an older HVAC system, and while functional and move-in ready, the property requires modernization of its primary systems and finishes.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 7061, living area = 1232.
The generous 7,061 sqft lot features mature fruit trees, lush landscaping, and three storage sheds, creating a private and functional outdoor sanctuary rare for the area.
Ideally situated within walking distance to Lucinda Garcia Park, Monroe Elementary, and a major shopping hub featuring Trader Joe's and Sprouts, offering high lifestyle convenience.
Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
With 1,232 square feet distributed across three bedrooms, the interior living spaces and secondary bedrooms may feel constrained for buyers seeking modern, open-concept layouts.
Built in 1925, the property may present typical challenges associated with aging systems and vintage construction that require more frequent maintenance than newer residential builds.
This 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home has been thoughtfully maintained and cared for over the years. Inside, natural light moves easily through the home, with south-facing windows bringing sunshine into the living room, kitchen, and adjacent laundry area. The kitchen offers a practical layout and an easy connection to the rest of the home. Just off the laundry area, the back porch includes a small built-in cabinetry unit, creating a useful spot for storage and everyday tasks. Throughout the home, details like crystal glass door knobs, built-in shelves and alcoves, and colorful kitchen tiling add a touch of vintage character. The primary suite is tucked toward the back of the home and features French doors that open down to the backyard. Two closets provide generous storage, while the additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Indoor basement access provides even more convenient storage space, and the home includes the washer, dryer and stove for an easy transition. The expansive backyard is a true highlight, with mature orange and pomegranate trees, an abundance of plumerias, and small pathways that wind through both the front and back gardens. A canopy of established trees creates a peaceful, private setting for outdoor living and entertaining, where you're surrounded by greenery and dappled light. Three spacious sheds, each with built-in shelving, provide plenty of storage for tools, hobbies, or outdoor equipment. A wide driveway provides ample off-street parking and adds to the home's everyday practicality. Just a short block to both Lucinda Garcia Park and Monroe Elementary, as well as another block south to Monrovia's shopping hub with Trader Joe's, Sprouts, and plenty of popular eateries. With its combination of original character, thoughtful updates, generous outdoor space and location, this is a home that has been cared for and enjoyed--and is ready for its next chapter in one of the San Gabriel Valley's most welcoming communities.
