About This Home
As of February 2020Perched on a hillside in one of Monrovia’s most desirable neighborhoods, this multi-level home proudly reveals a host of fresh upgrades, ample space and beautiful city views that come alive with twinkling lights after sunset. Mature landscaping and attractive hardscaping create a welcoming ambiance on the top level, which reveals a formal living room, a formal dining room with outdoor access, and a family room with surround sound and a classic stone and brick fireplace. New paint lends a contemporary vibe to the home, which extends approximately 2,728 square feet and displays a gourmet kitchen with handsome cabinetry, granite countertops, a tray ceiling with recessed lighting, a pantry and high-end appliances. This floor also opens to a large view deck that encourages festive outdoor entertaining. Downstairs, 3 bedrooms include a master suite that accesses a covered view deck and features dual walk-in closets and a sitting area. The lowest level leads to a serene backyard complete with a resort pool and spa with a dramatic rock waterfall. A 2-car garage and a 300-square-foot basement provide ample storage, and wood flooring, new carpet, crown molding and in-ceiling speakers add to the home’s appeal. A city park is just down the block, local mountains feature endless year-round recreational attractions, and excellent schools, popular restaurants and abundant shopping centers are close by.
