Tucked away at the end of a dead-end street within Monterey city limits, this charming home offers the character of an older home paired with thoughtful updates and comfortable living spaces. Hardwood floors run throughout the home, adding warmth and character, while large windows flow from room to room and bring in an abundance of natural light. The remodeled kitchen brings a fresh, modern touch with butcher block countertops, painted cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances approximately one year old. The functional floorplan offers distinct living spaces that can flex to fit the way you live and entertain. The centrally located full bath is exceptionally spacious, and all three bedrooms offer plenty of room along with great closet space. Outside, the newly constructed covered front porch and open side deck extend your living space and create inviting spots to relax, entertain, or enjoy the outdoors. The large backyard offers plenty of room to garden, play, gather, or simply enjoy the extra space. A detached building in great condition adds even more versatility and could serve as a workshop, additional storage, or a place to house equipment and tools. A gas line runs into the home, although it is not currently connected, allowing the next owner the opportunity to customize it to their needs. The home also previously featured a wood-burning stove. While the stove and related components have been removed, the option remains to add one back if desired. Additional updates include a central heating and cooling system approximately 3-4 years old and a metal roof approximately 6 years old. With its combination of original character, thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, outdoor areas, and versatile detached building, this Monterey home offers a lot to appreciate.
