Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from December 20, 2023
This 1926 Tudor Revival, known as The McNamee House, is a remarkable blend of modern luxury and historic charm. Designated as a historic landmark with Mills Act benefits, it was once the residence of former Monrovia Mayor, Lawrence R. McNamee. Upon entry, original quarter sawn hardwood floors grace the living room, accompanied by a vaulted tray ceiling featuring a Timothy Oulton Restoration Hardware chandelier and an Ernest Batchelder tiled fireplace. The living room offers a picturesque view through an original leaded glass window. French doors lead to an outdoor patio dining area. A custom arched doorway connects to the formal dining room, adorned with more original hardwood floors, tray ceilings, and another Oulton chandelier. Decorative etched glass windows add a touch of sophistication. The kitchen is updated with hardwood floors, a stainless steel farm sink, quartz stone countertops, and a suite of cabinets with soft-close hardware. Top-of-the-line Miele appliances, including an Oven Range, Oven Hood, and Single Wall Speed Oven, make it a dream for any chef. The kitchen opens to the backyard. The first floor boasts three bedrooms with, crown molding, and original casement windows. The front bedroom features a large leaded glass window, allowing natural light to flood in. Completing the first floor is a full bathroom with custom tiled floors, a pedestal sink, an original built-in cabinet, and a tub and shower. Upstairs, you'll discover a versatile loft/family room equipped with a Cooper Hunter Mini-Split air conditioning system, a ceiling fan, and hardwood floors. The generously sized Primary Suite includes hardwood floors, three closets, newer dual-pane windows, and a cozy seating area. The attached remodeled bathroom offers a dual sink vanity with quartz stone countertops, custom tiled flooring, a shower enclosure with subway-tiled walls, and a penny-tiled base with a glass door. The property features a detached garage with updated electrical, recessed lighting, and loft storage accessible via a pull-down ladder. This space can serve as a studio, gym, office, or be converted into an ADU. The backyard is an entertainer's paradise, featuring a custom-designed heated pool and spa, a barbecue area, a functional outdoor fireplace, and multiple seating areas to enjoy any season of the foothills of Monrovia. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Southern California history with this exquisite property.
