Located in the sunbelt of Monterey and a short distance to the beach, this 1,980 square foot home invites you in with freshly painted and newly landscaped exterior. Upon entering the three bed, two bath home, you will be delighted by the soaring vaulted ceilings of the entry and primary living area. To your left, the graceful staircase leads up to the primary bedroom and bath. Opening off the bedroom is an office or exercise room and a private deck overlooking the gardens. On the main level the spacious, light filled living room has a wood stove tucked in the corner for evening ambiance. This striking room was architecturally designed for comfortable gatherings, either large or intimate. The dining area opens off the room and enjoys built in pecan wood cabinetry and a breakfast bar at the end overlooking the recently, remodeled chef's kitchen. The two bedrooms and bath are off to the left of the dining area. In addition, there are two bonus rooms with infinite possibilities, as a second unit, a hobbyist's fancy or as an extra guest room. The backyard holds a trove of treasures: comfortable wood deck, an outdoor shower adjacent to hot tub, a fountain and areas to expand the garden. Truly a home to embrace and make your own.
