Tucked against the Hillside Wilderness Preserve in desirable North Monrovia, this extensively upgraded contemporary home offers nearly 3,000 square feet of living space, exceptional privacy, and a rare connection to nature. With no rear neighbors and direct adjacency to protected open space, the setting is peaceful, scenic, and hard to find. Originally built in 1978 and thoughtfully reimagined, the home features cherry hardwood flooring, a striking steel staircase with solid cherry treads, and a flexible three-story layout ideal for living, working, or creative space. The remodeled kitchen includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, high-end appliances, induction cooktop, and a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator. All four bathrooms have been updated with slate, limestone, and marble finishes, along with custom vanities. The spacious primary suite offers a walk-in closet with ample custom cabinetry and cedar lining. Designed for modern efficiency, the home is fully electric and powered by an 8kW solar system with four Tesla Powerwalls, providing energy savings and whole-home backup capability. Additional upgrades include heat pump HVAC, heat pump water heater, LED lighting, smart switches, upgraded insulation, dual-pane windows, and a fire-resistant composition roof. Two Tesla Wall Connectors support convenient EV charging. Set on a large lot, the property features a 15,000-gallon kidney-shaped pool (replastered in 2026) with a new variable-speed pump, along with private outdoor spaces and decks for relaxing or entertaining. The front yard offers drought-tolerant landscaping with drip irrigation. Additional highlights include a two-car attached garage with insulated workshop space and ample driveway parking. A rare opportunity to own a private, energy-efficient home with modern upgrades, solar power, and direct access to protected hillside open space.
