About This Home

As of September 2025

Don't miss your chance to own this move-in ready gem! This welcoming traditional home sits on a lovely tree-lined street and is nearby a delightful park. Tucked away just minutes from historic Old Town Monrovia, this serene oasis offers more than meets the eye, including a secluded backyard perfect for entertaining or unwinding under the stars. The spacious living room features a custom tiled fireplace, rich tile flooring, recessed lighting, and windows that allow natural light to bathe the home. The living room flows into a generous dining area perfect for gatherings, while the updated kitchen features plenty of storage, a pantry, a built-in wine fridge, and a breakfast nook. From the kitchen you have access to the well-manicured, low-maintenance private backyard. A spacious bathroom with dual sinks, new tub-surround and tub, sits conveniently between two bedrooms, one of which has French doors leading to the serene outdoors, while the other offers a walk-in closet. Creatives working from home or desiring their own quiet space or a guest room, will find a cozy flex room off the backyard. The home also has an enclosed laundry area, and a new, large storage shed. With a newer roof, and an expansive front yard that offers ample parking and plenty of gardening space, this home is delightful and airy. The seller is motivated and open to working with buyers and their lender on a temporary rate buy-down to help reduce monthly payments.
