35 Linda Vista Dr, Monterey, CA 93940

*House is occupied - please do not disturb current tenants!* Large, family friendly 5 bedroom home located on a quiet cul-de-sac in Skyline Forest. Enjoy the privacy of having space at the top of the hill with the convenience of a short low-traffic (or bike!) commute to NPS, DLI, Presidio, Cannery Row, Fisherman's Wharf, the Aquarium, and other locations. The yard and outdoor spaces so close to the city make this a great family or shared-rental find in Monterey! . 3 miles to Carmel, right on the border of Pebble Beach and Pacific Grove, quick commute to Asilomar and other beaches. . The house is 2 stories. There are spacious and open dining and living areas, with beamed ceilings and room for a large dining table. The dining/kitchen area boasts floor to ceiling windows that look to the outside patio, so there is lots of natural light. The living room has redwood beamed ceilings, original from the redwood cabin that used to be in the location. There is an electric fireplace in the living room. The kitchen comes supplied with a farm sink, refrigerator, dishwasher, garbage disposal, gas range/oven, and microwave. . A hallway leads from the living area to a laundry room (washer/dryer included), a downstairs bathroom with shower and linen closet, and 2 bedrooms. Original restored hardwood floors fill the hallway and bedrooms. The larger of the bedrooms has 2 closets, room for a king or queen bed plus table and chair, and has its own sliding door exit into the side yard. The smaller room is perfect for a kid's room or office, and also has a closet. There is also a large under-stairs "Harry Potter" type closet that provides excellent extra storage or a great pantry. . Upstairs, a large master suite has floor to ceiling sliding glass doors to let the breeze in. Hardwood floors, beamed ceiling, a vented natural gas heater, and great windows for natural light complete the room. The room leads through a walk-through closet into the master bath. Plenty of room for a King bed, chair, vanity, end tables and dresser. The master bath has double sinks, a jacuzzi tub and a pull up shower sprayer nozzle, but no stand-up shower. A door leads into the next bathroom, which has a stand-up shower, and also its own door to the hallway (it could be an extension of the master, or separate bathroom). . At the end of the hallway are two more bedrooms. One is a large bedroom, with 2 closets, a skylight, and a beamed ceiling. Another is a smaller bedroom, with a single closet, built in bookshelves, and beamed ceilings (great for a home office or a kids' room). Both of these bedrooms have individual gas heaters. Each story has a separate water heater. . The property has a large fenced outdoor space. The front yard has natural-looking long astroturf that therefore stays green all year, a gate from the street and a gate from the driveway. The front opens onto the cul-de-sac, with 4 other houses on the street. The front yard flows into a side yard with 2 oak trees, space for seating or play, a compost bin, and a gate to the main street. This connects to the back, which has a path leading to the side patio, with pergola, which you can also access through a sliding glass door from the kitchen/dining room. Large storage shed is perfect for tools or gardening equipment. Patio is perfect for a gas fire pit and an evening sit. . A one-car garage, with built in storage shelve and attic space, connects by a door to the patio and to the main house. There is also a driveway in front of the garage and a private parking pad in front of the house. Street parking on the main street is also available. . Sewer, trash, recycling included; tenant pays water (CalAm), internet, and gas/electric (PG&E). .
