346 Stedman Pl Monrovia, CA 91016

This distinctive property, known as the Cason House, is designated a Monrovia Historic Landmark and as a recipient of the Mills Act Program, owners benefit from a substantial reduction in their annual property taxes. The Ralph and Fanny Cason House was constructed in 1937 and its Colonial Revival architectural styling has been described as reflecting a more 'contemporary art moderne sensibility' as compared to the more traditional center-hall designs seen in the same revival styling. This property exudes charm with vintage design elements and upgraded amenities. Original features include: French windows, trey ceiling, chair railings, built-in display shelves, unique tilework, hardware, fixtures and oak flooring. A spacious formal living room features floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a Heatilator fireplace and views of the lovely Sycamore trees and verdant front lawn. A separate formal dining room opens to the classically updated kitchen with breakfast nook. Step out onto the deck with its retractable awnings to enjoy outdoor meals and the expansive and lovely backyard. Additionally, the first floor offers a bedroom that can easily serve as a comfortable den, a three-quarter bath and laundry area. Upstairs you will find a large primary bedroom that connects to a dressing room, full bathroom and the original sleeping porch that is currently used as a nursery but easily doubles as an office or creative retreat. A second large bedroom has ample space and a secret hide-away within the closet that is great for extra storage.Ideally located north of Foothill Boulevard and convenient to Monrovia's historic downtown district offering residents and visitors alike an array of much-loved boutiques and restaurants.
