1125 Alta Mesa Rd, Monterey, CA, 93940
About This Home
Architectural masterpiece in Alta Mesa! Walk less than a half-mile to the farmers markets, theater and shops at Del Monte Center and less than a mile to downtown Monterey. This private retreat in the quiet, forest-enclosed Alta Mesa neighborhood was custom-designed by architect and conservationist Joyce Stevens. Its rooms are arranged symmetrically around a central staircase and take advantage of abundant natural light with 4 skylights and 3 balconies to enjoy the landscape. Thoughtful upgrades include French drains, 2-zone heating, a gas-insert fireplace and advanced security. A 2-car garage was newly added and the facade much improved. There are bamboo floors and lovely wood details throughout. The home is designed for convenient and possibly multigenerational living. The master suite, kitchen, living and dining rooms are on the main level. Downstairs are 3 additional bedrooms and a family room, accessible through a private entrance. The large property provides distance from neighbors and is situated on a rounded corner lot. The grounds are landscaped with drought- and deer-resistant plantings. Abundant foliage includes coastal redwoods, Monterey pines and live oaks.
