Agent Description

Rare North Monrovia architectural time capsule blending the romance of a 1920s Spanish Revival residence with a 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.
