Description
Rare North Monrovia architectural time capsule blending the romance of a 1920s Spanish Revival 1,484 Sq. ft. residence with a 450 Sq. ft. detached studio house inspired by California's indoor-outdoor lifestyle tradition. Set near historic landmarks, scenic foothill trails, wilderness preserve areas, and Old Town Monrovia, this largely untouched property offers a rare opportunity to restore and preserve a timeless architectural gem rich with original character and craftsmanship. Classic details include a red clay tile roof, covered corridor with exposed wood-beam ceilings, graceful arches, handcrafted moldings, decorative attic vents, textured plaster walls, hardwood flooring, handcrafted light fixtures, authentic hand-wrought ironwork, and an arched wooden front door with wrought iron detailing and original mail slot. A Batchelder fireplace serves as a stunning focal point reflecting the artistry of its era. Mature olive and avocado trees, lush landscaping, shaded walkways, and a private courtyard create a peaceful old California compound atmosphere between the primary residence, detached outdoor living studio, and garage. The detached studio offers approx 450 sq. ft. with vaulted wood-beam ceilings, expansive windows, rustic wood-paneled walls, a dramatic brick fireplace, and vintage wood-burning grill with ventilation hood. Flexible potential for studio, office, gym, lounge, workshop, game room, or guest retreat. Studio house includes a currently non-functioning bathroom vintage sink and toilet. The primary residence offers 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. Desirable features include an eat-in kitchen, as well as an easy-access basement. A detached two-car garage with built-in workbench provides additional parking, storage, and workshop space. Convenient access to Los Angeles and neighboring communities including Sierra Madre, Pasadena, and Arcadia. Monrovia is recognized as a two-time All-America City Award recipient known for its strong sense of community and historic charm. A rare opportunity for a buyer who appreciates restoration, original architectural integrity, timeless craftsmanship, and the enduring character of an authentic Spanish Revival home. Buyer to independently verify all permits, sq. ft., property details, use, and school enrollment. Property being sold strictly "As-Is". Seller will make no repairs and offer no credits or concessions in lieu of repairs. This listing price already reflects current property conditions.
