About This Home

As of September 2022

Bursting with style and character is this can't-miss gem set on a well-sized lot in stunning Monrovia. If you're looking to be enveloped in lush greenery with majestic mountains serving as a picture-perfect backdrop with the city at your doorstep, look no further. The residence, which exhibits a contemporary design, consists of two separate homes: the main 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence, along with a 1-bedroom ADU-style unit. The fact that the home is entirely gated means more privacy and security for you. Splashes of white are prominent on the exterior just as they are inside with an abundance of large windows allowing in natural light and framing scenic outlooks. Recessed lighting shines on hardwood floors that flow underfoot throughout, creating a welcome atmosphere for gatherings. Delighting the avid cook is a kitchen replete with sleek, modern touches, including its tasteful tile backsplash, and plenty of white cabinetry. Whip-up meals using stainless steel appliances, all while taking in picturesque views through chic black-framed windows. Adjacent is a chandelier-lit dining area where you can dine over pleasant conversation with guests. Great city and mountain views aren't just limited to the main living areas. They can also be had in deluxe bedrooms, which are generously sized and equipped with recessed lighting. The primary bedroom has an ensuite whose walk-in shower, tub, light fixtures, and double vanity offer elegance with rejuvenation. Invite visitors to stay overnight in the fabulous secondary dwelling. Its focal point is undoubtedly the beautiful brick fireplace that adorns the living room. Neutral tones and wood flooring are on display as they are in the main home. The unit also has a bar to complement the kitchen area where company can unwind while savoring craft cocktails. With a walk-in closet and shower to boot, your visitors may never want to leave. The patio area, accessible through the living room, offers immaculate poolside vistas before going in for a refreshing swim. Even though you might find it challenging to escape the dwelling's comfortable confines, its location is sure to please outdoor enthusiasts. Nearby points of interest include Wilderness Park, Vassar Canyon, and the Monrovia Hillside Preserve. Visually striking, ideal for entertaining, affording idyllic panoramas from virtually every room, and perfect for relaxation, this spectacular abode has everything you're looking for. This is truly an unparalleled life of leisure.
