About This Home

As of May 2021

Welcome to this traditional 2 bedroom, one bath home in a desirable Monrovia neighborhood, minutes from Monrovia High School, Monroe Elementary, the quaint Downtown Monrovia shopping district, City Library, and the popular Farmers Market. Upon entering the home, you'll find an inviting living room, that offers wonderful picture window views of the San Gabriel Mountains. A nice dining room area is open to the galley kitchen, where you will find a laundry closet and a built-in nook with a desk. The master bedroom and second bedroom are in the back of the house, and the master has direct access to the back yard. Mountain views continue from an entertainer's dream of a back yard, featuring a sparkling pool and a patio offering relaxing outdoor gathering space. The garage was converted long ago to a bonus space that can be used as a guestroom, recreation room, workout space, or whatever your heart may desire. The bathroom/shower/changing area adjacent to the pool is not included in the bathroom count, and was built by a previous owner. Additional roomy storage is found in the large shed adjacent to the bonus room. The property has one each of the following fruit trees; grapefruit, orange, avocado, lemon, lime and fig, as well as a succulent garden with drip irrigation. The house has central air and heat, and a recently installed tankless water heater. Don't miss seeing this unique property!
