This single level architectural delight sits above the bay at the end of a quiet cul de sac near a greenbelt and offers both privacy and natural beauty. The masterful 8-foot tall front door of redwood and mahogany opens to soaring beamed ceilings in the spacious combination living room and dining room with a beautiful view displayed through floor to ceiling windows. An iconic 70s fireplace invites both fun gatherings and times for quiet rest. The well-organized kitchen with charming view of the city and Bay, features a classic clay fireplace, teak cabinetry, eat-in area, walk-in pantry, built-in desk, and stainless-steel appliances. On a private wing, the large primary bedroom with en-suite bath and separate office offers serene forest views. On the other side of the home are two more bedrooms, two additional full baths, and a spacious family room with Bay views through notably tall windows. Large view deck provides pleasant coastal indoor-outdoor living space with multiple access doors from the living room, kitchen and family room. Indoor laundry with folding area and sink. Finished 3-car garage. Convenient to Community Hospital, Veterans Park, the airport, downtown Monterey, and all the beauty of the Monterey Peninsula.

Skyline Forest, located between Highway 68 and the Del Monte Forest, is a residential and wooded Monterey neighborhood with winding hillside streets and a quiet, pine-scented setting. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highway 68 corridor near the Skyline Forest Drive area, where a small cluster of local services and trailhead traffic sets a practical, outdoors-forward tone. Housing leans toward mid-century and ranch-style homes tucked into mature trees, with frequent glimpses of open space. The pace feels defined by morning dog walks and weekend hikes rather than nightlife. Nearby cultural anchors like the Monterey Museum of Art, Golden State Theatre, and the historic Presidio of Monterey add a city-center counterpoint to the forested calm.

Planned Community District
Establish a procedure for the development of large parcels of land in order to reduce or eliminate the rigidity, delays, and conflicts that otherwise would result from application of zoning standards and procedures designed primarily for small parcels; Ensure orderly and thorough planning and review procedures that will result in quality urban design; Encourage variety and avoid monotony in large developments by allowing greater freedom in selecting the means to provide access, light, open space, and amenity; Provide a mechanism whereby the City may authorize desirable developments, consistent with the General Plan and applicable area plans or specific plans, without inviting speculative rezoning applications, which, if granted, often could deprive other owners of development opportunities without resulting in construction of the proposed facilities; Encourage allocation and improvement of common open space in residential areas, and provide for maintenance of the open space at the expense of those who will directly benefit from it; Encourage the assembly of properties that might otherwise be developed in unrelated increments to the detriment of surrounding neighborhoods.
