126 Poinsettia Ave, Monrovia, CA 91016

This charming sunlit Spanish Colonial Revival bungalow fixer sits up off the street on a cul-de-sac in North Monrovia. The exterior features a low-pitched cross-gable clay tile roof with a flat roof at the rear, shallow coved eaves, a covered front porch with an arched opening, decorative attic vents, and punched stucco screen design. As you enter through the original front door into the living room, you’ll find a brick fireplace and hearth with wood mantle, coved tray ceiling, wood picture frame molding, wood baseboards, and a bookcase. The formal dining room has an original swinging door into the kitchen that has ample wood cabinetry, ceramic tile and Formica countertops, original California cooler cabinet, garden window, original built-in ironing board and an area for the washer. There are three bedrooms off the central hallway, one of which has the exposed original oak flooring, which is likely present throughout the house under the carpet. The front bedroom with French doors was originally a covered side patio, but it was enclosed and permitted years ago as the 3rd bedroom and is included in square footage, but does not have hardwood floors under the carpet. The hallway full bath has original hexagonal floor tile, subway tile walls, wood vanity, and a cast iron tub/shower combo with ceramic tile surround. Additional amenities include central air, gravity heat, California basement, spacious hallway linen closet, one-car detached garage with large workshop area, and amazing mountain views. Bring your vision to life in this sweet house with great bones.
