114 S Canyon Blvd, Monrovia, CA 91016

This mid-century duplex in the heart of Old Town Monrovia sits a few blocks from beloved Myrtle Avenue, with views of the San Gabriel Mountains in the background. With two 2 Bedroom + 1 Bath, single-level side by side units, this vacant duplex presents a rare opportunity for owners to occupy one or both units, or lease them; it's a great investment either way. The long horizontal lines, low-pitched gable roof and multi-pane steel windows here offer vintage charm and classic appeal - it has street presence enough to stand amongst the myriad neighborhood historic landmarks in this special city, much loved for its small town energy. Living here is quiet and comfortable: both units enjoy large living rooms and eat-in kitchens (the only shared wall is between these public rooms), with the well-sized bedrooms and full baths on the quiet north and south sides of the property. Behind each unit find covered patio space (ideal to accommodate laundry if desired), access to the large shared backyard, storage space and separate garage with alley access. How many locations in Southern California offer space, privacy and true proximity to retail and restaurants less than half a mile away, hiking trails with waterfalls (Monrovia Canyon Park!), not to mention a fabulous library and fun weekly street fair - all at this price point? This is a property to buy and hold - what a winner!
