Property Description
A MUST SEE - This exceptional property at 212 E. Colorado Blvd., built in 1911 by esteemed builder Charles Cramlett, is a Monrovia Historic Landmark #97, blending timeless Craftsman charm with modern upgrades. Enrolled in the Mills Act Program, it offers significant tax savings to the owner. The home has been meticulously restored, preserving original features such as handcrafted window moldings, wavy glass, period hardwood floors, classic exterior siding, picture frame molding, and the iconic "pig's foot" bathtub. Well-maintained bathroom tilework & fixtures further enhance its historic appeal, while spacious bedrooms provide warmth & character. The formal living room features hardwood floors, a large window with views of the San Gabriel Mountains, Craftsman-style moldings, and exposed beamed ceilings. It flows into the formal dining room, where a Craftsman fireplace, built-in China cabinet, wood bench seat with storage, & decorative wall sconces create an ideal space for gatherings. The chef's kitchen includes a professional Jenn Air stove, chef's sink, custom cabinetry from a neighboring Cramlett-designed home, & decorative spaces. Every detail has been thoughtfully restored to maintain its Craftsman integrity, offering a perfect blend of history and modern luxury. Downstairs includes 3 bedrooms (one currently used as an office), 1.5 bathrooms, an icebox room off the kitchen, & a laundry area. Upstairs, the primary bedroom spans 30x12 feet and features two closets, a full bathroom with original details, and a Midea ductless mini-split system for comfort. A finished sitting area works beautifully as an office or reading nook. The backyard is an entertainer's dream, featuring a large covered patio, mature Empress trees, citrus trees, a peaceful water fountain, & ample parking. The 892 sq. ft. two-car garage/workshop adds versatile space for storage or hobbies. Conveniently located one block from Downtown Monrovia, this home offers easy access to parks, schools, golf courses, freeways, & the best shopping & dining in the San Gabriel Valley. Additional highlights include central A/C, a brand-new roof/driveway gate (2025), copper plumbing, upgraded electrical, ADU potential, a structural retrofit ($28,500 as part of the Mills Act), & a rare California basement.
