Welcome to a piece of Monrovia history with this stunning Italian Period Revival, originally crafted in 1922. Known as the C.O. Banks House, this Historical Landmark architectural gem with a Mills Act designation offers classic beauty & modern comforts across its spacious layout. The beautifully landscaped front yard & grand horseshoe driveway invite you to explore the character & charm within. Entering through the front door, you're greeted by a formal entry, setting the tone for the refined elegance that flows throughout. The main level opens with 2 large doorways leading to formal living & dining areas. The living room is a showcase of period charm, with original hardwood floors, crown molding & a gas fireplace. 3 sets of French doors allow natural light to fill the room, while a ceiling fan adds comfort. At the back of the living room, a cozy den with wood beam ceilings provides access to the driveway near the garage. On the other side of the entry, the formal dining room shines with a vintage chandelier, tray ceiling with crown molding, track lighting & French doors opening to the front porch. The dining room connects to a gourmet kitchen, featuring stone countertops, wood cabinetry, recessed lighting & high-end Viking appliances--including a 6-burner range & oven with a professional hood. The stainless steel KitchenAid refrigerator, dishwasher & a dual sink overlooking the backyard & pool. Adjacent to the kitchen is an additional dining area with wainscoting & a door leading to the grassy backyard, pool, spa & a covered cabana. A 1/2 bathroom with a pedestal sink completes the first floor. Ascending the staircase to the 2nd floor landing, you'll find a spacious primary bedroom on the left, with an en-suite bathroom, ceiling fan, oversized base molding & hardwood floors. A dressing area with a vanity & closet space leads into a full bathroom, with period tile & a shower-tub combination. Across the landing, an additional bedroom includes a walk-in closet & access to a 3/4 bathroom. An additional large bedroom with hardwood flooring & a ceiling fan connects to a Jack-&-Jill bathroom, with a stone countertop vanity & a tub-shower combination. Another bedroom lies on the opposite side of this bathroom. There is also ample storage space in the finished basement along with a fully equipped laundry area. With its historic charm, modern amenities & prime Monrovia location, this extraordinary home invites you to experience a perfect blend of the past & present
