About This Home

As of September 2025

This charming Craftsman-style Monrovia duplex is back and better than ever. Since its last market appearance, the property has undergone extensive upgrades including: full re-wiring of the front house (with permits), a major sewer line replacement of the front and rear unit (with permits), foundational beam and support work approved by a licensed contractor.

***The property will be delivered with tenants in place.*** Both tenants are on month-to-month leases. Front house is paying $2175/mo and back unit is paying $1500/mo.

This opportunity is perfect for investors looking for a value-add deal in non-rent controlled Monrovia (State rent control may still apply), buyer to investigate. Don’t miss your chance at this upgraded and well-located income property just blocks from Downtown Monrovia!
