1020 Briarcliff Road, Monrovia
Offered at $1,699,000
Welcome to an absolutely stunning 2,034 square foot contemporary ranch style home that sits on a promontory point allowing for sweeping views of both the city lights in the distance and the verdant canyon below. The parcel is sited on a 37,692 square foot zen-like lot in a sought-after Monrovia neighborhood surrounded by magnificent homes all offering idyllic curb appeal.
The residence is an entertainer’s dream with an open floor plan, high-end finishes, beautiful appointments and walls of glass framing the expansive scenic vistas that surround the property. You enter through a gated front courtyard, with drought tolerant plantings, that leads to the inviting entry. From there, step into the spacious living room and light filled dining space that adjoins the renovated kitchen with stainless steel, Bosch appliances, quartz counters and a perfectly proportioned chef’s island. At the center of the interior is a two-sided, tall fireplace that creates warmth as well as a stately focal point. There are three bedrooms and three baths, all beautifully remodeled, with backlit mirrors as well as hand-laid tile that is both sculptural and elegant. The primary bedroom has a large, walk-in closet and an ensuite bath with the most desirable amenities. One bedroom could be divided to make two rooms, if so desired. The current owners created one large space that functions as both a guest room and an office. There are updated mechanicals and systems including a charging station for electric vehicles.
The house opens out to a wide deck that showcases the best of the Southern California lifestyle. There is an outdoor kitchen with a barbeque area that is bordered by a lush lawn and raised beds. This offers the picture-perfect spot for entertaining friends or having quiet dinners under the stars using the fruits and vegetables that may be grown on site. Farm to table at its finest! This is a true architectural treasure, in a wonderful community, close to hiking trails and the natural, serene beauty of our majestic foothills.
