About This Home

As of January 2022

This extraordinary home is unassuming and encapsulated from the street of this premier Monterey neighborhood but step through the gates and be transported to your own private sanctuary right here in the heart of town. Paver pathways lead the way while the sound of waterfalls emanates a welcoming atmosphere. Mature foliage and towering trees encircle the perimeter providing paramount privacy. Garden sitting areas, covered decks, patios and an Italian marble built in fire pit cater to entertainment as well as relaxation.The L shaped design of the home while functional and appealing also serve to bring the outdoors in, offering access to the exterior from almost every room of the house including both the primary and guest bedrooms that each have french doors opening to a covered deck sitting area. Gorgeous plank ceilings, sturdy beams and original hardwood floors reflect the craftsmanship, brawn and beauty of its time.This is a truly special home and an amazing opportunity.
