Custom built home nestled in the Foothills of North Monrovia. For the person that wants to get away from it all, yet just minutes away from downtown Monrovia restaurants, shopping and transportation, and Pasadena nightlife. This one of a kind home was designed and built by the original owner, and is on the market for the first time. After entering the custom built front door, you will be met with old world European character and charm. Step down into the formal living room with vaulted wood beam ceiling, gorgeous wood floors and an impressive fireplace as the focal point. Step up to the formal dining room, featuring large gable windows with a view of the natural hillside. Charming details and touches throughout, including antique leaded and stained glass windows, beautiful arched French doors, and window placement specifically designed to fully enjoy the beauty of this unique area. Two large en suite bedrooms upstairs, the main bedroom featuring French doors leading to a balcony perfect for enjoying the serenity of the neighborhood any time of the day. The downstairs bedroom would also make a great office or den, with arched doors leading to a serene patio. The family room, complete with a built in bar, also has matching French doors to the patio, making it perfect for entertaining. The large kitchen has solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and room for a breakfast table under the stunning dual arched windows. This amazing home is ready for a new owner to love.
