Description
A rare opportunity to restore and reimagine this 1950s Mid-Century residence high in the desirable hills of North Monrovia. Attention builders and investors, this expansive lot offers approximately 120 feet of frontage and a depth of up to 150 feet. The home features 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,374 square feet on a 22,361 square foot lot (all measurements per Assessor), along with a detached 2-car garage. Inside, the spacious living room is highlighted by a dramatic exposed beam ceiling, fireplace, and expansive picture window that frames views of the surrounding greenery while filling the home with natural light. The warm architectural details create a distinctive Mid-Century ambiance rarely found today.
