This stately Monterey Colonial home, circa 1935, showcases timeless architectural details of the era on a private, nearly one-acre lot where majestic redwood trees frame the serene setting. Originally designed by renowned architect Gardner Dailey and with landscaping by Thomas Church and Jack Stafford, the property offers abundant potential. Options include moving in and enjoying the enchanting vintage character today, renovating to suit personal tastes, or exploring opportunities to build new.

A gated entrance and long driveway lead to the home, where classic window shutters and a covered upper-level balcony define the architectural style. Interior features showcase hardwood floors and crown moldings in some rooms, plus towering windows and French doors that bathe the interiors in natural light. The traditional layout features a formal living, vintage bar area, formal dining room, a bright kitchen with casual dining area, and a flexible room with en suite bath ideal for a family room or bedroom. There are a total of six bedrooms in the home, including a guest suite on the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite has two full baths, plus there are three additional bedrooms, an office, and two baths.

The grounds are equally inviting, featuring a sparkling pool, expansive covered and open patios perfect for entertaining, and lush lawn areas with raised vegetable beds. A two-car garage with adjoining workshop and laundry area, plus a carport and partial basement are also featured. With its blend of privacy, charm, and opportunity, this home offers a rare combination in a highly desirable location.
