Property Description
Some homes are built. Few are preserved. 236 East Foothill Boulevard, a historic landmark known as the Nielsen House, stands as a rare testament to the craftsmanship of another era: a Transitional Craftsman on historic Route 66, maintained with exceptional devotion and presented in extraordinary historic condition. A genteel entry porch, framed by lush plantings, sets a gracious tone from the first step. Inside, the home’s pedigree is unmistakable. Hardwood floors glow beneath period-appropriate lighting, while hand built wood cabinetry, original windows, doors, and hardware speak to a level of artistry rarely found today. Exquisite details like stained glass light fixtures, a stunning fireplace and a built in banquet in the dining room harken a nostalgic elegant lifestyle. Three light-filled ample bedrooms and one and a half baths across 1822 square feet offer an unhurried, beautifully proportioned way of living. The property has views of the beautiful San Gabriel mountains. Outside, a large flat 7220 square-foot lot unfolds into a generous backyard that provides a limitless canvas for alfresco, entertaining, gardening or the expansion of your own vision. Designated under the Mills Act, the residence offers the potential for meaningful property tax benefits, a compelling advantage that rewards the stewardship of historic architecture. Just moments away, the restaurants, boutiques and cafés of old town Monrovia along Myrtle Avenue invite you to enjoy the city’s celebrated village charm. This home offers an opportunity to own an authentic piece of Monrovia's history with outstanding beauty and remarkable value.
