NEW PRICE. Location! Location! Location! Step back into the past with this 1957 multi-gabled ranch-style home, on the market for the first time in 60 years. Built by the neighborhood developer as his personal residence, this unique property is perched high off the street at the end of a cul-de-sac in a very desirable North Monrovia location on an extra-large lot, offering scenic views. The home features a durable concrete tile roof and a covered front porch and is adorned with used brick accents. Upon entering, you're greeted by a front door with multi-paned stained glass leading into a spacious living room with a large picture window framing stunning vistas. The original kitchen invokes fond nostalgia, with ceramic tile countertops, peg & groove flooring, ample wood cabinetry, a paneled breakfast area, a ceiling fan, a wood range hood, and a gas cooktop. The step-down family room is a cozy retreat, boasting a floor-to-ceiling flagstone fireplace and hearth, flagstone flooring, a wall-attached shelving unit, wood paneling, and gingerbread accents. The north wing houses two bedrooms, including one with an attached full bath featuring a shower/tub combo. The large hallway bathroom maintains its original charm with a tub, a vanity area, and ceramic tile countertops and flooring. The third bedroom, located on the south side of the house, offers flexibility as a potential office space. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, complete with a pool area, a brick patio, and a covered pergola. A majestic oak tree and 11 fruit trees, including lemon and tangerine, enhance the outdoor space. Additional features include a separate laundry room with an attached 3/4 bath, central air and heat, original oak flooring under the carpet, and two water heaters. Parking is a breeze with a 7-car garage equipped with 220-volt power and an attached bonus room, as well as ample driveway parking. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a piece of history in a prime location.
