Don't miss seeing this classic Spanish style duplex, gracefully situated on the corner of two peaceful, tree lined streets in the highly desirable residential neighborhood of North Monrovia. Currently tenant occupied, however, this is a duplex you can live in, should you wish to - perfect for multi-generational families.
