About This Home

With sage green shutters, scrolled iron railings, and a covered front porch with plenty of space for your favorite easy chairs, this 1948 cottage in the charming Casanova Oak Knoll neighborhood of Monterey announces itself with unassuming grace. Step inside a thoughtfully refreshed interior. Warm LVP flooring runs the full length of a generous, light-filled living room, which opens through an attractive archway into a dining area anchored by a built-in glass display case. The kitchen is clean and bright, with white cabinetry, chic countertops, a gas range, and stainless steel appliances. Bedrooms offer comfortable living, and the whole home carries the calm, unhurried energy of a place close to the water. Close is no exaggeration. Del Monte Beach, Monterey Pines Golf Course, and some of the area's best parks are all minutes away. Enjoy that fresh ocean air and natural light. Paved and private, the fully fenced backyard holds endless possibilities. For the discerning buyer who understands what proximity and access are worth here on the Monterey Peninsula, this is the one.
