As you wind your way up the hills of Monrovia, the stresses of the day slip away. The city noise disappears and the quiet of an old time neighborhood surrounds you. Pulling into your two car garage, the simplicity of this completely remodeled mid-century modern home greets you. In the refrigerator you pull out some freshly picked lemons from your backyard orchard and drop a slice into a cool drink as you saunter across the living room. Looking out through the large windows you'd swear you were in a tree house, but this tree house has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. You smile as you open the glass doors, step out onto your balcony, and feel a fresh breeze as you survey your expansive, meticulously landscaped yard. The blue of the pool inspires images of David Hockney pool parties. There's a knock at your door. Your friends have arrived. It's time to forget the world and enjoy those around you. Downstairs you all head to the pool room which invites the outside in. Guacamole from your own avocado trees serves as an appetizer. Once your stomachs begin to growl a bit louder, it is back upstairs for a meal prepared in your gourmet kitchen. This is the life. The one you dreamt of all those years ago up in that tree house. Welcome home.
