    What's special

    This tasteful, Spanish-style duplex in the highly-coveted residential enclave of North Monrovia is ideally situated at the corner of two tranquil, tree-lined streets. Originally designed as a duplex, the dwelling could be transformed into a single-family residence with minimal modifications. The Oaks Avenue-facing unit is a sophisticated 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath showstopper, boasting an open floorplan of restored white oak hardwood floors. The spacious living room features an elegant, coved ceiling and a sleek, built-in media center. Perfect for creating wonderful memories with family and friends, the dining room serves as the heart of this home. Upscale granite countertops, custom cabinets, and modern appliances lend polished refinement to the kitchen. A long, gated driveway, old-world-influenced covered porch, and a garage complete this side of the property. The Acacia Avenue second unit offers a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath configuration, with dual entrances at either end of a covered porch boasting a charming turret. An open living area seamlessly transitions into a kitchen with granite countertops, generous cabinetry, and a ceramic tile floor. Warm white oak floors flow throughout most of the home. The gated side yard leads to a garage, laundry room, and private covered patio. Noteworthy features include central heating and air conditioning, refined fixtures and lighting, crown molding, an expansive California basement, and meticulously landscaped grounds—all in proximity to Old Town Monrovia’s exceptional dining, shopping, library, theater, and markets. This residence exudes timeless elegance and versatile living in an exceedingly sought-after community.
