Come see this classical 1908 Craftsman with Carriage House/Barn on a .33 acre lot in Monterey Park. This well loved and lived in 5 bedroom, 2 bath house is on the market for the first time in 50 years. You don't want to miss this home of many possibilities and plenty of space to fulfill your dreams. Beyond the front hedge and grassy yard is a tradition and inviting front porch with a broad, original wood door and tongue and groove beadboard. Upon entering the foyer, there is a bedroom to the right and living room to the left. The living room has a large window overlooking the front yard, the original brick fireplace with gas starter, built-ins, molding and shelves in the traditional style of a California Bungalow. This room flows to the family room with bright windows and window seats making for a large open space. Next is the dining room with another window seat and gorgeous built-in china cabinet. From there, you enter the kitchen with gas stove, dishwasher, plenty of cabinet and counter space. Off the kitchen you have the pantry, and ample utility spaces. Next to the family room there is a second downstairs bedroom, currently a children's imaginary forest with reading nooks, through which you enter the enclosed side porch on the north side of the house in which one can imagine drinking some ice tea or lemonade on a warm summer evening. In the center of the downstairs space is an updated bathroom with a shower. Upstairs are three dormer style bedrooms, a full bathroom, an outdoor balcony facing the front yard and plenty of nooks for attic storage. The side and backyards are lush with fruit trees, spacious patio area, and grassy expanse leading to what was once the carriage house and barn. This structure is now a cool live work space with a loft, resin galaxy flooring that glows in the dark, wide work bench, beams to hang a swing from and a barn door that slides open to the garden area. This space could be transformed into many uses...dance, art or yoga studio, sound room, and possibilities limited only by your imagination. Please attend one of the open houses. Investors welcome and those who have a passion for restoration and living well are encouraged.
