Presenting the John Langley Howard Home and Studio in the coveted Peter's Gate neighborhood above historic central Monterey. These are the last structures designed by world renowned Arts and Crafts architect, Charles Sumner Greene, before his passing. The architectural details of this Wood Craftsman have been beautifully preserved and restored with modern improvements conscientiously integrated. Open beam ceilings, redwood walls, oak floors, three enameled cast iron claw-foot tubs, farm sink, granite countertops, all new copper gutters, and 200 gallons of rain water storage. Enjoy the indoor-outdoor living choosing from six patios in the enchanting park-like setting where grand oaks grow among mature landscaping and stone paths. The living space features a three bedroom, two bath main house with an additional separate studio guest house with full kitchen.
