About this home
Nestled in the desirable hills of North Monrovia, this charming mid-century home with 2 bedrooms is sited on an expansive 22,361 square foot lot. Upon arrival to your own long private driveway, you are welcomed inside to a spacious living room highlighted by a dramatic exposed beam ceiling, fireplace, and expansive picture windows that bring in lots of natural light and offer views of the surrounding nature. Cook in the cozy kitchen with breakfast bar that overlooks the dining area with an additional brick fireplace. Mature trees enhance the property's private setting, while the expansive backyard captures beautiful mountain views. A detached 2-car garage and a long driveway offer ample parking, while the rooftop deck is perfect for outdoor entertaining or alfresco dining. Bring your toolbox and add your finishing touches to make this house your own home. Ideally situated near Canyon Park and popular local hiking destinations including the Clamshell Trail and Sunset Bench, this property offers a wonderful blend of warm architectural details and distinctive mid-century vibes in one of Monrovia's most sought-after hillside neighborhoods.
Gold Hills, located between Foothill Boulevard and the Angeles National Forest foothills, is a residential and hillside Monrovia neighborhood with winding streets and canyon views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Myrtle Avenue at Foothill Boulevard, where sidewalk patios, indie storefronts, and evening foot traffic set the tone. Craftsman bungalows and mid-century ranch homes mix with newer hillside builds, often framed by mature trees and terraced lots. The pace feels outdoors-forward, with trailheads and ridgeline roads shaping daily routines. Community touchstones include the Monrovia Farmers Market, the Monrovia Historical Museum, and the Monrovia Public Library.
