Take a pristine single-story home with a retro feel and modernize it with newly remodeled kitchen and baths and some fresh contemporary touches and you have an inviting blend of comfort and style - the perfect setting for a family vacation or a couples' getaway.
This three-bedroom, two-bath home that sleeps 8 is located on a hillside on the outskirts of the quaint community of Pacific Grove, with its unique assortment of locally owned shops and restaurants and just a short walk to the ocean and the dunes of Asilomar Beach. Monterey and Carmel are just a 5 to 10-minute drive away.
Upon your arrival you will be greeted by complementary hors d'oeuvres and a bottle of wine or sparkling cider (upon request), day passes from the renowned Spa on the Plaza in downtown Monterey, Scheid Wine tasting room passes in downtown Carmel and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is at your disposal to assist you during your stay. We have also provided spa amenities in the bathrooms, plush spa bathrobes, over-sized towels and beach gear.
Walk up a stone tile pathway alongside a large front yard planted in native plants including lavender, rosemary, potato vine and poppies and enter the freshly painted buckskin-colored house through a deep-red door framed in mottled glass. A short entry leads to a combined living/dining room, featuring sand-colored wall-to-wall carpeting and a white brick gas fireplace. Beautiful flowering plants can be seen through all the windows. A sophisticated palette of muted-blues, aqua, sand and shades of brown weaves throughout the dwelling. Living room furnishings include a taupe sleeper sofa that converts to a queen bed, comfortable seating, dining table and chairs, a 46' HDTV and BluRay DVD player and a bookcase full of great reading. Six can be seated at the dark walnut dining table. Prints of the owner-artist's work are hung throughout the house, including scenes of Paris shops and families at the seashore.
A pass-through bar with two stools where you can eat casual meals divides the dining room and the well-appointed and newly remodeled kitchen, which features birch cabinets, granite counter tops, a side-by-side refrigerator, electric range, microwave and dishwasher. Cookware, dishes, table linens and everything you need for preparing and serving delicious gourmet meals is provided.
Leaving the living room through sliding glass doors, you will step out on to a patio surrounded with flowering plants. There is a table and chairs and a gas BBQ for al fresco dining.
The three bedrooms all have sand-colored wall-to-wall carpeting. The master, with its aqua, brown, red and coral palette, has a king bed appointed with luxury linens that can convert to twins. It also has a 42' HDTV with BluRay DVD player. There is a walk-in closet and a dresser. The elegant remodeled master bath has granite counter tops and a large stone-tiled shower.
A second bedroom, in a similar color scheme, also has a king bed with luxury linens that convert to twins. Sliding glass doors open to a small vine-covered enclosed patio with a bistro table and two chairs where you can enjoy your morning coffee and a Danish.
A third bedroom also has a king bed with plush linens that can become 2 twins.
A second remodeled bathroom with the same granite counter tops and tiling as the master has a shower over a tub.
This is a pet friendly home. Parking is available in a double car garage, in the driveway and on the street.
