Located In the beautiful city of Monrovia 91016, in the shadow of The Bradbury Estates 91008. Welcome to 525 Sombrero Road. This 1950’s spacious, impeccably maintained, and meticulously manicured landscaped home, is waiting to create wonderful memories for its new owners. The front yard features manicured Saint Augustine grass, two giant Queen Anne palms with high profile lights, 16 rose bushes, 8 Silver Salutes and 8 Purple Twilight Zone. Three giant pigmy palms, one giant Sago palm. Several plumeria plants, with a variety of colors. Both front and back yards have complete water and light timer stations.

This home features: newer roof, fresh paint inside and out, indoor laundry room, tankless water heater, and new upgraded PEX piping for plumbing lines. There is a remote automatic security gate entrance, long driveway, and detached garage which could be easily converted into a small apartment for extra income, if desired. A third bedroom has its own separate entry to the main house and rear yard. The backyard includes Saint Augustine grass, a Japanese Elm, 28 Malibu lights, professional concrete curbing around planters. A variety of flowering cactus currently blooming, five giant barrel cactus, three large barrel cactus "clusters, ” and exotic succulents. All planters are decorated with rare blue surf rock.
