Built in 1925 by local craftsman Harry Martin, this thoughtfully preserved Monrovia home is a rare surviving example of early Southern California residential craftsmanship with original details intact, still defining every room. The living room centers on a Batchelder fireplace with hand-pressed tile and sculptural relief, flanked by period polychrome sconces. Hardwood floors, coved ceilings, picture rails, dining room wainscoting, and original glass-knob doors throughout. Original casement and sash windows preserve the home’s historic character; a whole-house fan provides natural evening ventilation. A ten-light glass door opens the study to the patio; French doors connect the breakfast room to the garden. Both enjoy views of the San Gabriel Mountains. The kitchen was updated circa 2000 and refreshed in 2025 with new cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and flooring; retro-inspired appliances complete the look. A main-level bathroom offers laundry hookups; a washer and dryer in the basement also convey. Exterior features include the original 1925 carved front door with hammered metal hardware, custom period wood window screens, original porch railings, and period lanterns. The backyard offers mature grapefruit, avocado, and fig trees, a stucco privacy wall, and a wrought-iron gate. Recognized as City of Monrovia Historic Landmark No. 147, the property carries a Mills Act contract with potential property tax savings. Additional features include 18 solar panels and an ~800 sq ft attic with expansion potential.
