About this House

Welcome to 228 W Olive Ave. Built in 1887, this Eastlake Victorian resides in one of Monrovia's most desired neighborhoods. Featuring 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, a versatile guest house, and a spacious 3-car garage, the restored residence blends historic charm with modern amenities. Generously sized windows and high-beam ceilings allow natural light to abundantly fill the living room and bedrooms. Additional period details, such as custom woodwork and original hardwood floors, impressively convey the grandeur of the Victorian era. Other home improvements include a reinforced sister-wall foundation, a new HVAC system, and a wonderfully restored front porch. The professionally landscaped backyard is an entertainer's dream with its large deck and stone patio perfectly shaded by mature trees and surrounded by lush plantings. The recently updated guest house, complete with a full kitchen and bathroom, features new flooring, stainless steel appliances, and a new bathroom vanity, mirror, and lighting. In 2019, the City of Monrovia historically landmarked the property and awarded a Mills Act contract, providing significant property tax savings. Located near the shops and restaurants of Downtown Monrovia, this home combines modern convenience with historical character and that small-town feel.
