The property says “Welcome” as you come up the long
driveway through over 2 acres of open field and trees.
At the top of the hill, the driveway circles in front of the house, bordered with an attractive mix of native and other drought tolerant trees and plants. Entering the house you're immediately drawn toward the spacious, open beamed
living room.
The formal dining room, with built-in china cupboard and sideboard, also looks out over the city of Monterey and north across the bay. Additionally, the bay view is seen from different angles from the master bedroom, another bedroom and the hot tub that is nuzzled in a nook outside the master bedroom.
Nine foot ceilings, loads of natural light shining through the large double-paned windows and skylights, and comfortable sized rooms create both an open and a cozy, homelike feeling throughout the house.
A sunken patio off the kitchen/breakfast room area provides a wonderful spot to enjoy the sun surrounded by flower beds. There is also a fire pit in this patio. Every bedroom has plenty of closet space and a view. The north side faces the bay, and the south side looks at lovely hills and forest.
The bay side of the house has a large deck, a small lawn area, gardens, and a large open and unobtrusively fenced area sloping away from the deck and lawn. Both fireplaces in the main house have beautiful tile work. The large mantel in the living room is a special piece of solid redwood. It was a gift from the original general contractor who harvested it from a fallen tree on his own property in Big Sur.
The apartment is separated from the main house by a wide breezeway. The private entrance leads into the living room/dining area that has a tiled fireplace, built-in bookshelves, and built-in wood storage bin. Several large windows look out at the fields trees and part of the bay. The apartment has its own 2 car garage with front loading washer and dryer.
A sunny deck is right outside the front door and bedroom French doors, with a view of field, hills and forest. Right below the bedroom deck area is its own south facing, private fenced patio and garden area.
The night time view of the city lights is mesmerizing. Also due to the location away from the city, the night sky sparkles with stars and you can see the Milky Way Galaxy.
