Property Description
This stunning Queen Anne Victorian home, built in 1894 by the Burr family of Monrovia, offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of San Gabriel Valley history. With only two family owners in its remarkable 130-year history, the property has been thoughtfully restored and rebuilt between 1979 and 1986, including new exterior walls, framing, plumbing, electrical, drywall, and plaster, making it as functional and structurally sound as a modern home while retaining its timeless charm. The residence, a registered historical property with the City of Monrovia, has even served as the backdrop for numerous movie and television shoots. Spanning 4,091 square feet, the home features 7 bedrooms, 4.25 bathrooms, and sits on a generous 14,545-square-foot lot. Recent upgrades include a new gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry and professional-grade appliances, as well as a restored pantry with a prep station. The bathrooms have been lovingly refinished to preserve their historical beauty, with clawfoot tubs and vintage accents, many of which were sourced from England, including elegant porcelain wall-mounted water closets. The foundation was seismically retrofitted in 2023, ensuring the home is as safe as it is stunning.Set among mature oaks and historical trees, including an avocado/apple tree planted by Luther Burbank, the private backyard offers a serene escape perfect for family gatherings, pets, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The expansive lot also provides ample space for a pool or further landscaping. Inside, the home features three gas-burning fireplaces, blending modern comfort with its Victorian-era elegance. The 5-car garage includes a 572-square-foot potential carriage house with plumbing and a framed subfloor, offering limitless possibilities for an ADU, home office, or creative space. With a location just a short walk to downtown Monrovia's boutique shops and restaurants, this turnkey historical gem offers both an extraordinary living experience and the potential for Mills Act tax savings, making it as financially appealing as it is architecturally significant.
