Description

Welcome to this charming 1928 Tudor home located on a quiet corner of Monrovia's Wildrose District near Bradbury. This home retains much of its period charm, and features many original design elements such as the unique front door with peep window, exposed wood beams gracing the main living area, an authentic Batchelder-designed tile fireplace, and much more. The curbside appeal of this home is unmistakable. A majestic deodar cedar tree, which provides ample shade and much needed cooling during summer months, is the most prominent feature along flower beds enclosed by an elegant brick and boxwood border. The curved, brick-lined walkway completes the approach to the front porch and entryway. The formal entry adorned with an original mosaic tile floor leads to the spacious living room illuminated by original, hand-hammered wall sconces and featuring a prominent fireplace designed by renowned artist and tile maker Ernest Batchelder. The formal dining room boasts an original chandelier and hardwood flooring, which flows into the cozy breakfast nook with a beautiful carved wood built-in hutch. The freshly painted quaint kitchen is enhanced with ceramic tile flooring and LED recessed lighting with a few original details. Adjacent to the kitchen is a separate laundry room providing ample space and storage, and even has the original fold-down ironing board and original iron! The large primary suite includes a huge walk-in closet, which could serve as an office, nursery, or media room, a custom skylight and an ensuite bathroom with a tub/shower combo. There are two additional bedrooms, a full bath plus a half bath.
