Monterey Ocean View Craftsman Home for Sale

You will love this beautiful example of a Monterey Craftsman style home for sale on the hill in the New Monterey neighborhood of Monterey, CA 93940. This home was remodeled under the careful eye and attention to detail of a local Monterey area architect and was truly a labor of love. The current owner has upgraded the house even more and it is now in impeccable condition for its new owner.

This Monterey Craftsman home exudes character like most craftsman style home do. It has a classic shingled exterior finish with beautiful wood beams and fascia board accents. This warm and inviting theme continues inside the home with wood clad ceilings, exposed wood beams, wood trimmed windows, hard wood floors, an old stone fireplace and a touch of stained glass accents throughout the home to add additional warmth, coziness and character. Although there is an abundance of dark wood inside, large windows and skylights are equally abundant allowing rays of sunshine to permeate the entire home.

The floor plan is simple, with the living room, dining room, kitchen as well as a small bedroom and a full bathroom all on the main level. There is a relatively large master suite occupying the upper level. This retreat like area offers an amazing abundance of light to bathe the entire master suite. Even the bathroom has 12 windows allowing natural light in from all directions! The master suite also has a great birds eye view of the Monterey Bay, including the sand dunes along the eastern edge of the Bay.

Fabulous Craftsman Kitchen with Style

The kitchen is one of my favorite parts of this old craftsman home. The cabinets have an old world cottage feel accented by the eclectic mixture of one off decorative tiles collected from all over the world and assembled tastefully as the backsplash for the kitchen countertops. Like the rest of the home, natural light bathes the kitchen and breakfast nook, making the built in bench an ideal spot to enjoy a cup of Joe and read the morning paper. The dining room is attached and is spacious enough for a good sized group but has an intimate feel with the warm colored wood ceiling and the wall of glass to the North.

The yard is amazing and is a perfect fit with the craftsman themed home. There is a stone walkway starting at the curb and leading you all the way to the back yard. The yard is nicely landscaped with an abundance of color with just enough work to allow those with green thumbs to participate or for those without to allow a landscaper to handle the yard chores. There are two decks in the back yard plus a fabulous front porch making it possible to enjoy the better weather this part of Monterey tends to get.
