60 Via Descanso, Monterey, CA 93940

This home is very private, practically invisible from the quiet street it's situated on, with many acres of private parkland behind. Something like this doesn't come up often. The main floor has two bedrooms and one bath. Half-height walls, high windows and a skylight give the main floor an open and flowing feeling. The lower level has a third large 'bedroom' that offers a lot of flexibility, having been used as a master bedroom, den and artist's studio. There is also a workshop with ample storage. The open living room, lined with big windows and full skylight, makes you feel as if you are sitting in a treehouse with nature surrounding you. At about 1700 square feet it's larger than many original Monterey homes. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee sitting out on the large deck overlooking the green belt, watching the deer, squirrels, and birds going about their morning. The convenient location is in the 'banana belt' near Del Monte Center. We have easy access to Highway 1, downtown Monterey, and a neighborhood shopping center. 'Descanso' was designed by a Joe Wythe, a Monterey master of mid-century modernism. The lister is his son and the current owner. Rent includes garden maintenance and wastewater. Tenant is responsible for other utilities including water, electricity, trash and internet/cable (which average in total about $250/month.) Wssher/dryer, refrigerator and dishwasher are included.
