Tucked away on a 10,992 square foot lot adjacent to Monrovia Canyon Park and the Hillside Wilderness Preserve, this unique 1952 home offers a rare opportunity to live surrounded by nature while still being just minutes from town. With majestic oak trees, lush landscaping, and incredible mountain and canyon views, the setting feels like a private retreat. The home features distinctive Japanese-inspired architectural details inside and out, including bamboo siding at the front of the home and sliding Shoji doors that open across floor-to-ceiling living room windows, bringing the outdoors in and filling the space with natural light. The living room also features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace and built-in floor-to-ceiling corner bookshelf and cabinet. A formal dining room with chandelier connects to the galley kitchen through a convenient breakfast bar. The kitchen includes vinyl flooring, electric range, and double sink.

The property includes a two-car detached garage and offers direct access to hiking trails, the Canyon Park Nature Center, the waterfall, and Sunset Bench. The area is known for its natural beauty and wildlife — deer, bobcats, and even the occasional bear have been known to wander through, so consider this your very own nature channel, live and in person. If you’ve been looking for a home that feels like a mountain retreat, artist’s hideaway, or peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this special property offers a truly one-of-a-kind setting in beautiful Monrovia.
