Description

RRICE REDUCED! Steeped in Monrovia history, this unique property blends vintage character with immense upside potential. Originally built as a carriage barn contractor W.H. McCune pulled permits in 1920 to transform the structure into a home. While it began its life as a two bedroom, one bathroom residence the main home has since been expanded to feature 3 bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms and a convenient interior laundry room. Interior features original hardwood floors, classic built-in china hutch in the dining room and built-in shelves in the living room. Under the house a small basement area that possibly once housed the original furnace offers a historic nod to the home’s past. While the main home awaits your stylistic vision key infrastructure is already in place, duel -pane vinyl windows, central heating and air conditioning and an electrical system that was updated from original. A long driveway provides ample parking leading to a two car detached garage. Adding immense value to the property is a second fully independent dwelling unit built in 1953. This separate home includes 1 bedroom with a walk-in closet, 1 bathroom, a living room anchored by a cozy brick fireplace and a kitchen nook complete with its own built-in china hutch off the kitchen. Highly functional for renters, investors or multi-generational living the AUD features separate electricity and gas meters for each unit, while conveniently sharing a water meter. This historic compound represents a rare opportunity to build equity with two separate homes on a large lot in a highly desirable North Monrovia neighborhood. Conveniently located close to downtown!
