Step into this beautifully updated Victorian home, where classic charm meets contemporary design. Originally built in 1895, this stunning property has been modernized to offer the perfect blend of character and functionality, ideal for today's discerning homeowners. Located in the desirable North Monrovia neighborhood, this three-bedroom, three-bathroom home provides a unique opportunity to live in one of the area's most sought-after locations. As you enter, you'll immediately notice the soaring ceilings, which create an airy, open feel throughout the main living area. The spacious living room seamlessly flows into the dining area, making it perfect for entertaining friends or relaxing after a busy day. Two bedrooms are tucked down the hall, along with a chic, updated bathroom featuring sleek modern finishes. The kitchen is a standout, designed for both function and style. With quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, it's the ideal space for preparing meals--whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home.

The main bedroom is your private sanctuary, with French doors leading to a private deck that overlooks a peaceful backyard. The fully updated en-suite bathroom offers a luxurious, spa-like retreat. Designed for both relaxation and entertainment, the backyard is a true showstopper. Large concrete pavers guide you through the meticulously curated space, featuring a sparkling swimming pool and an outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill and bar top, plumbed for a potential future firepit. A studio room with a separate entrance from the backyard offers a versatile flex space, complete with a ductless heating/cooling system. Inside, you'll find a three-quarter bath with a walk-in shower and a private sauna. Plus, for those seeking something truly special, a speakeasy-style lounging area is hidden in the second basement, offering an exclusive setting for intimate gatherings. Completing the residence is a two-car garage, which can easily be converted into a home gym, with a wall-mounted A/C unit plus double doors leading to the pool and back yard. Additional comforts and upgrades include a newer electrical panel, an automated driveway gate, and two EV outlets. Just a short distance from downtown Monrovia, this home offers the perfect mix of modern living and historic charm.
