This charming private retreat was originally built as a carriage house in 1935. Since then it has been enhanced to a rustic 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom home with a loft that is being used as a 3rd bedroom. Features include two patios with lovely city lights and mountain views that make al fresco dining a pleasure anytime of the day. The kitchen is remodeled with some new cabinets, farm sink and granite countertops. The permitted addition was earthquake retrofitted with a fire sprinkler system throughout the house. The office opens up to lush landscaping with fruit trees and mature ferns that brings nature inside. Another plus is plenty of storage throughout and a large crawl space under the house. The location on a cul-de-sac provides quiet and solitude where you won’t realize you are only a mile from markets, banks, and beautiful downtown Monrovia with it's shops, restaurants and the very popular Friday night street fair. As this is the first time on the market in over 30 years, this is a unique find for that special buyer.
