About This Home

As of May 2020

SPECTACULAR VIEWS, AMAZING PROPERTY! Imagine gazing out your windows at a wrap-around view spanning the hills of Los Gatos and Loma Prieta to the Monterey Peninsula. The entire bay, from Pacific Grove to the Santa Cruz Wharf, stretches out before you. Step outside to one of four decks to see the valley below and hawks soaring at eye level, just seven minutes from Soquel Drive at 41st Avenue. This stunning 2008 remodel was designed by architect William Rennie Boyd. The vast space outside is mirrored inside with an open floor plan downstairs and nine-foot high ceilings that lead to the second story's vaulted heights. At night, the lights of Monterey and Pacific Grove sparkle across the bay, and numerous Roy Johnson fixtures bathe the interior with incandescence. Slate surrounds the gas fireplace in the living area, maple cabinets and Silestone countertops define the kitchen, and Beech hardwood floors tie all the elements together. Seeing is believing.
