This Monterey classic was a precursor to the “California Ranch” that became so popular in the mid 20th century. Built in 1948 as a replica of the historic Alvarado Adobe on Dutra Street, this is truly the “Old Monterey” style that you will fall in love with.

With over 2500 square feet and a great room that is 30x18 with a soaring 16 foot cathedral ceiling it is a pleasant surprise upon entering this home. There is one traditional wood burning fireplace along with a gas insert heater in the sun room. The 12 inch thick walls and deep window sills feature the Monterey Adobe style, but this home is built in traditional wood framing with wood siding. Three large bedrooms each with a private updated bathroom all have plenty of closet space and old world trim and moldings. The interior of the home has undergone a complete renovation staying true to the style of the home, while exposing over 2000 square feet of beautiful 7” wide plank wood flooring. The large kitchen features new kitchen appliances, tile and granite counters, breakfast bar and plenty of room when you decide to stay in for the evening. Enjoy all that downtown Monterey has to offer, walk to dinner and the movie theatres or enjoy the farmers market. Located in the middle of a historic and vibrant re-emerging downtown district that is California’s first capital. Enjoy!
