About This Home
Don't miss seeing this classic Spanish style duplex, gracefully situated on the corner of two peaceful, tree lined streets in the highly desirable residential neighborhood of North Monrovia. Rich in architectural charm and thoughtful design, the property was originally conceived as a duplex and continues to offer flexibility, with the potential to be converted into a single family residence with minimal modification. The corner orientation provides excellent natural light, added privacy, and a true neighborhood presence. The Oaks Avenue unit is a refined one bedroom, one and one half bath residence designed for both comfortable living and entertaining. Restored white oak hardwood floors extend throughout the open floor plan, creating warmth and continuity. The spacious living room features an elegant coved ceiling and a custom built in media center. The dining room serves as a central gathering space, ideal for family meals or hosting guests. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, and modern appliances. This side of the property also includes a long gated driveway, a covered porch with old world architectural influence, and a private garage. Facing Acacia Avenue, the second residence offers a generous two bedroom, two bath layout with excellent separation of space. Dual entrances are positioned at either end of a covered porch with a distinctive turret, adding classic Spanish character. The open living area flows into the kitchen, which features granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, and ceramic tile flooring. White oak floors run throughout most of the home. Recent improvements include fresh interior paint, updated plumbing through repiping, newer kitchen appliances, a washer and dryer, a newer thermostat, and a newer water heater. A gated side yard provides access to a garage, laundry room, and a private covered patio. Both residences benefit from new electrical inside and out, central heating and air conditioning, crown molding, refined fixtures and lighting, an expansive California basement, and meticulously landscaped grounds. Located near Old Town Monrovia, the property enjoys close proximity to dining, shopping, the library, theater, and local markets, offering timeless Spanish character in one of Monrovia's most sought after neighborhoods.
