This tasteful, Spanish-style duplex in the highly-coveted residential enclave of North Monrovia is ideally situated at the corner of two tranquil, tree-lined streets.

A long, gated driveway, old-world-influenced covered porch, and a garage complete this side of the property. The Acacia Avenue second unit offers a spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath configuration, with dual entrances at either end of a covered porch boasting a charming turret. An open living area seamlessly transitions into a kitchen with granite countertops, generous cabinetry, and a ceramic tile floor. Warm white oak floors flow throughout most of the home. The gated side yard leads to a garage, laundry room, and private covered patio.
