FULL DESCRIPTION This quiet, newly renovated 1 bedroom, 1 bath 632 sq ft back house near downtown Monrovia has a fully fenced backyard for you and your pets. The house is uniquely situated with the front of the house facing the alley, complete with its own front yard and 2 car driveway which are accessed from the alley. You can pull into the attached one car garage, or park 2 cars in the driveway and use the garage for storage or a workshop. The front yard is gated but it’s just like any front yard that faces the street. Visitors can enter to ring your doorbell. The spacious living room and dining room have windows facing the alley with a beautiful view of the foothills. In years past, Monrovia’s 4th of July fireworks show has been partially visible from the dining room. The kitchen has new quartz countertops, both white and white oak cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and open storage solutions including pot racks, a microwave shelf, and a magnetic storage cabinet. The steel door between the kitchen and the garage is painted with chalkboard paint on both sides so you can decorate with magnets, write recipes in chalk, draft woodworking plans, chart your To Do lists, or draw your own temporary art. Designer upgrades to the kitchen include tile to the ceiling above the stove, a slide-in range, glass-door cabinets, and modern gold accents. The house has security screen doors on both the front and back doors, so you can safely leave your doors open to catch the prevailing cross breeze in the evening. An energy efficient 27k BTU 2-zone heat pump mini split HVAC system saves money while keeping the home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Features which make this home special include the original painted knotty pine wainscot paneling in the dining room, a retro inspired bathroom, beautiful modern light fixtures, clear-coated solid-core pine doors, large mirrors to visually expand the space, and built-ins that maximize storage in a small footprint. The bathroom has a new stall shower, linen cabinet above the toilet, and vintage vanity with vessel sink. An additional wet bar vanity in the hallway gives you extra room to get ready, and features a lighted medicine cabinet that charges your razor and electric toothbrush while keeping them out of sight. Luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout is pet friendly and easy to clean. Gas laundry hookups are available on the back patio. The backyard is small but fully fenced, with access to fruit trees. It’s a blank canvas so you can create your own little outdoor oasis. A versatile side yard next to the garage is gated on both ends, and can possibly be used as a dog run. Owner lives on site and responds promptly to maintenance requests. The electrical and plumbing for the back house have both been updated, with a new 200 amp electrical service panel and wiring, new water pipes, and new drain lines. Unit is within 1 mile walking or driving distance from restaurants, bars, shopping centers, a movie theater, parks, grocery stores, banks, gyms, the local library, Monrovia’s Friday night Farmer’s Market, city services, and bus stops connecting to regional transit. The Monrovia Line A Park and Ride (formerly known as the Monrovia Gold Line station) is one mile away. Just 20 miles from downtown Los Angeles, Monrovia is nestled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains off the 210 Freeway near the 605, with many cultural and recreational activities nearby. Major medical centers and hospitals are also conveniently located nearby in Arcadia, Duarte, and Pasadena.
