About This Home
As of July 2025Nestled in a north Monrovia enclave this impressive residence commands breathtaking 180-degree panoramas stretching from the vibrant cityscape of downtown Los Angeles to the serene silhouette of Catalina Island on the horizon. A picturesque wisteria-draped trellis welcomes you as you gracefully descend the steps to the inviting front entrance. The main level unfolds into a generously proportioned living room, elegantly appointed with a warm fireplace framed by custom shelving and seamless access to the expansive deck – an ideal spot for al fresco relaxation and soaking in the stunning vistas. Entertain with sophistication in the formal dining room, which conveniently connects to a meticulously climate-controlled 900-bottle wine cellar, perfect for the discerning enthusiast. The expansive kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, anchored by a substantial center island and boasting professional-grade stainless steel appliances, a casual breakfast bar, and a sun-drenched breakfast nook, all while framing captivating views. Tucked away for ultimate tranquility, the primary bedroom is a private retreat featuring its own fireplace, a spacious walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bathroom complete with dual sink vanities, an oversize tub, and a separate shower. Direct access to the deck further enhances this serene sanctuary. A versatile office space (easily convertible to a 4th bedroom), a full bathroom, a powder room, and a well-equipped laundry room with ample cabinetry complete the thoughtfully designed main level. The lower level provides additional living space with two well-sized bedrooms, a shared bathroom, a comfortable family room, and a dedicated office – offering flexibility for family living or guest accommodations. Step outside into a flourishing garden, a true urban oasis brimming with vibrant kale, healthy broccoli, fragrant citrus, and delectable avocado trees – a testament to nature's bounty. Adding to the property's appeal is a charming detached guest house, a proven successful Airbnb, offering a spacious room and a private bathroom. Completing this exceptional property are a detached two-car garage with an attached storage room and a driveway providing ample off-street parking. This is more than a home; it's a lifestyle, offering unparalleled views, luxurious amenities, and a connection to nature, all within easy reach of city conveniences.
