Live (almost literally) on cloud nine. You know you're high up when you can catch impressions of the wharf from the back deck of your house in the hills off Highway 68. This home surpasses all expectations of what a "view property" has to offer. Yes, you can see the ocean. You can see the expanse of cerulean waters meeting clear skies, stretching from Cannery Row to Santa Cruz. But you can also see the outline of the Monterey Peninsula itself, as definitively as if you were looking at it on a map. Few properties are so exceptionally appointed. Sunbathe on multiple decks that run the entire length of this split-level property, listening to the sounds of birds and wind dancing through pine trees. All three bedrooms share the view, with the primary suite and another bedroom granting direct access to the top-level deck. On the main level, relax by a stone fireplace in your living room, where high ceilings draw your attention to a curved window that lets in dappled afternoon light and frames views of lush oleander and a distinctive oak tree. A bonus room with built-in bookshelves would make a lovely office. Downstairs, an open kitchen adjoins an intimate living area with an adobe style fireplace. This is truly what it looks like when a home exists in harmony with nature, and with you.
