TWO HOMES for the price of one! At first glance, 1217 Rosa Dr. feels like the kind of home you’ve been waiting for—spacious, inviting, and tucked into one of Monroe's most established neighborhoods. But as you step onto the oversized lot, you quickly realize this property offers something rare: possibilities. The main home is filled with natural light, open living spaces, and large closets that give everyone room to breathe. It’s almost fully updated, meaning you can move in right away and still make it your own. Gather friends in the multiple living areas, host holidays with ease, or simply enjoy the peaceful flow of a home designed for comfort. And then, there’s the surprise that changes everything: a guest house! Maybe it’s where family can stay close but independent. Maybe it’s a home office with true separation. Maybe it’s rental income that helps cover your mortgage. However you use it, this second dwelling expands what “home” can mean. Step outside and the appeal continues. The attached garage and separate workshop (below the guest house) create the perfect backdrop for hobbies, storage, or passion projects. The yard, wide and open, invites you to imagine barbecues, play area, or quiet evenings under the stars. Welcome home to this Monroe gem! Life at 1217 Rosa Dr. is about more than square footage—it’s about freedom. Freedom to grow, to gather, to create, and to live in a space that bends to your lifestyle. In Lakeview Estates, with Lake Lee just moments away, you’ll find the balance of retreat and convenience that so many people are searching for. This isn’t just a house. It’s a canvas for the next chapter of your story. And it’s ready for you.
