93 Alta Mesa Circle, Monterey

Deck   Kitchen   Living Room

As you know by now I am a sucker for a good project, but at the same time, there is something awfully nice about a perfectly turn key house. All ready to go and all you need to do is unpack. My property pick this week is an extensively renovated contemporary home in Monterey’s Alta Mesa neighborhood. This is a sunny, quiet street in a convenient location close to downtown Monterey … and most importantly Whole Foods! The home features a modern day floor plan that everyone is looking for: a great room with high ceilings and a perfect flow to the outdoor backyard and fire pit. The living room sliding doors open completely to the backyard deck and the ½ acre parcel is minimally, yet beautifully, landscaped for us drought minded Monterey Peninsula residents. Built not as a spec but for the owners just a couple of years ago, this home is thoughtfully designed with countless features and amenities throughout. The home is open today, 10/21, from 12-2pm. Check it out and let me know if you agree.

I had been referred to potential buyers who were relocating to Carmel from Colorado. They were the type of buyers that could be successful in the crazy days of COVID. Decisive, ready and able.
