725 W Hillcrest Blvd Monrovia, CA 91016

Tucked beneath the canopy of a magnificent 100+ year-old Engelmann Oak, 725 W Hillcrest known as the J.F. Pitt Home is a rare and romantic Spanish Colonial Revival designed in 1927 by renowned architect William Brandt, whose decade of residential study in Mexico profoundly shaped this early and iconic work. Designated a Historic Landmark and Mills Act-approved for substantial property tax savings, the home beautifully romanticizes California's historic ties to Spain and Mexico. Grand curb appeal sets the tone, leading to an enclosed entryway and a richly detailed interior featuring an open-beam living room with original Spanish blue trim, extensive magnesite flooring, and a cozy fireplace. Vintage tile-original to the home-graces both upstairs bathrooms, while original iron hardware and a dramatic second-floor cantilever further reflect the home's authentic architectural character. The spacious layout offers three bedrooms, two additional rooms currently used as an office, and three bathrooms, all thoughtfully arranged. Outdoors a large lot offers unlimited potential. Lush landscaping frames a romantic patio ideal for quiet mornings or intimate gatherings. This is a truly special home that, while ready for some updating, offers exceptional potential and a rare opportunity for a buyer to bring their vision to life and add their own personal touch.
