In 1910, William Monroe built a house across from his own, which is thought to have been for his widowed daughter-in-law. 201 Monroe Place still exudes the warmth and love with which it was built and what you would expect from one of Monrovia?s historic Craftsman homes. Step from the large covered front porch, inside to the entry hall which runs through the center of the home. The formal living room features original built-ins, beautiful brick fireplace and grand picture window. Detailed by stunning wainscotting with picture rails, the dining room has double french doors to the backyard. The quaint open kitchen has stainless steel appliances, double ovens, rounded display shelving, a beautiful leaded glass window and connects to a generously sized laundry room. Enjoy time in the spacious family room with ample natural light, built-in display shelves, which opens to the cozy home office w/ private outside entrance. Also downstairs is a grand bedroom with a brick fireplace, lovely picture window, original built-in shelves & bench seat. With the downstairs bathroom just steps away, this would be a perfect guest suite. Upstairs, you will find two generously sized bedrooms connected by a hallway with a full bathroom. All the bedrooms have spacious walk-in closets with built-in drawers and shelves. The Primary bedroom has a connected bonus room which, in the original design, was a sleeping porch for warm summer nights. Now, fully enclosed and surrounded by windows, this is a perfect flex space for an additional home office or private retreat flooded with natural light. Other features of this home include original wood floors, closets and built-ins in almost every nook and cranny, a large walk-in attic with even more room for storage, natural light throughout, and an oversized backyard with multiple spaces to enjoy.

This home has been lovingly maintained, updated and cared for by the same family for close to thirty years. It exudes pride of ownership and its historic noteworthiness makes it eligible for the Mills Act and Historic Registry resulting in significant tax savings.
