Here's a chance to own a historic 1887 Victorian! Walking distance to Old Town Monrovia, local schools, shopping centers and beautiful mountainous hikes and bikes, and minutes to the 210 FWY and Metro Gold Line, this three-bedroom, two-bath gem--complete with a 530 sq. ft. matching two-car garage, large in ground spa (spool), and matching 80 square foot loft playhouse--exudes many original architectural details and charm. From the expansive front porch to the living room built-ins, original wood floors, butler's pantry, and 9-12 ft. high ceilings, to the rear porch and relaxing backyard with a view of the San Gabriel Mountains, this house is truly one-of-a kind. With it's wide-open floor plan, common spaces can be combined, or private nooks created. Each bathroom is tiled--one bathroom has a tub; the other an oversized shower. Mini split cooling/heating units have also recently been installed. Washer/dryer are located outside on one side of the house, but laundry hookups exist inside as well. Enjoy evenings by the fire pit or in the pool, complete with waterfall. On the side of the house is a large patio, and the front yard and backyard is filled with plenty of gardening space. Grapes, figs, grapefruit, plum, nectarine, lemon and avocado trees are there for the picking, while flowering shrubs lend their fragrance. Front and back yards have sprinkler systems. The large garage could be used as an office space or hobby hive, or converted into an spacious ADU with a loft. Behind the garage is another parking space. Old-fashioned street lamps light the backyard at night. The sewer lateral was replaced in 2013. Front of house was repainted in Nov. 2019. Due to its historic status, this house is a beneficiary of the Mills Act, so the new owner can benefit from substantial tax savings. The seller will also pass on previously approved plans to convert the attic space to an estimated 400 sq.ft. Master suite. Please note that the house is mostly vacant. Pics reflect when it had furniture. Additionally, due to drought, pool is unfilled, and lawn is watered infrequently. Some cosmetic work needed on playhouse. Buyer commission 2%. Masks will be required to enter for open house.
