Description

Great opportunity to own a mostly original 1930's rustic cottage in old town Monterey close to downtown shopping and even the wharf and bike trail! The home retains its original charm with a simplistic design utilizing wood siding and storybook windows. Inside there are exposed beams and supports, a stone fireplace and shiplap walls all adding to the charm of this cozy cottage. The floors are newer laminate but flow with the home's décor. There is an ample sized kitchen with everything you need in a house of this size. The yard is private and appears to be fully fenced. It has some nice outdoor areas to enjoy your morning coffee or your favorite beverage in the evening. If you are looking for a cozy cottage in Monterey to escape the summer heat, this one is calling your name!

    "You see dogs walking with their owners all the time. And most owners are conscientious about picking up the poop left by their dogs. Monterey is a dog-friendly community. "

    "I see many people walk their dogs in the neighborhood. I love dogs and put up a “Pick up your puppy’s poop, please”. Most owners pick up their dog’s poop which I’m grateful for. "

    "This is Old Town Monterey. Spaghetti Hill, settled by Italian fishermen whose founding families ply their trade to this day. The Defense Language Institute above. The small downtown below. The original capital of California. Lots of history and events. Big Sur,Pinnacles, etc. This is Steinbeck country. If you can afford it, it’s great."

    "My daughter lives with her husband and my ex-wife lives in Sonoma near Morton’s pool. I live in Monterey which is a beautiful area but gets crowded all summer (and much of the rest of the year) with tourists for the many events they offer. When I came out to visit, the older houses and natural areas made me decide to commit to moving out here."
