For anyone inspired to create a glorious life at the gateway to the Monterey Peninsula, this single-level home in the highly sought-after Del Monte Heights neighborhood of Seaside represents a dream realized. Dazzling bougainvillea marks your arrival as you pass through a freshly manicured garden space on your way inside. Here is a charming home just minutes from the ocean and mere blocks from shops, amenities, and some of the most popular restaurants in the area. Pull back the blinds on oversized windows to let the sun cast its energizing rays over lustrous hardwood flooring in your living room, which connects to a bright, open kitchen. Prepare a favorite lunch in the glow of afternoon light with the help of stainless-steel appliances, a gas range, and chic white cabinetry. Rich wood floors and sunshine continue in both bedrooms, each one beautifully simple and offering everything a person needs to feel happy and fulfilled each day. Out back, the fully fenced yard is ripe for the imagination. Already featuring a shed and a small paved patio, it waits for you to answer the question of what will come next. Mature, vibrant gardens? Custom hardscaping? An ADU? The choice, and the rare chance to create your own private sanctuary in a sublime coastal climate, is yours.

Feel like you are on vacation in your mid-century modern cottage with views of the bay and gorgeous sunsets featuring Bahamas-inspired beach colors. This light & bright west-facing home has an open floor plan with large windows and a good-sized eat-in kitchen, making the inside feel surprisingly spacious. This home also features a tray ceiling in the living room, a unique archway, and a cute built-in phone nook. The well-designed floor plan maximizes usable space and even includes two narrow, yet full height, linen closets standing on either side of the bathroom door. And each bedroom closet is actually a full 6-feet wide! There are so many things to love about this home, most especially the beautifully restored original hardwood floors. The many double-paned windows allow for great light and pleasant breezes, but still keep you warm on cooler nights. Outside, enjoy privacy in the large fully-fenced backyard with a nice patio for relaxing in the sunshine in this sun-belt home.
