About This Home
As of April 2023Perched on Spaghetti Hill in Old Town Monterey, this exceptional craftsman home has it all! Enjoy ocean views from the living room, heated front porch and even the upstairs bathtub! Thought and attention to detail were put into the recent remodel to modernize while maintaining the original charm and character from 1915. The result is a remarkable home featuring a stunning kitchen, dual-zone heating, upgraded plumbing, electrical, roof, and classic elements such as high ceilings, tall baseboards & hardwood floors. The floor plan is expansive and flexible with 3 beds and 2 baths upstairs and a 4th bed & 3rd full bath at ground level. Plus, the permitted ADU has its own kitchen, bath & laundry for guests or income. On almost ¼ acre, the grounds include, native landscaping, coastal redwoods, new ipe decks, private patios, a green house, composting bin, and 2 storage sheds. The walkability is outstanding with close access to the shoreline, trails, restaurants/nightlife, shopping and more!
