In an oak-studded countryside about six miles from Monterey Bay is a hilltop home that invokes warmth, character and a relaxed California lifestyle. Behind the understated facade is a striking Spanish Modern interior that is open and airy with an earthy elegance. The family-friendly 2,475+/- sf layout spans two levels with formal living and dining rooms, a huge family room, granite kitchen (each has outdoor access), three bedrooms upstairs, including the primary suite, and a spacious secondary suite/office on the lower level with private outdoor access. Striking home features include dramatic vaulted ceilings with beautiful wood planks and exposed beams, abundant natural light from large windows and glass doors (including a floor-to-ceiling Palladian window), newly painted crisp white walls, new Berber carpet and on-trend light fixtures, a sleek marble fireplace, a rugged stone fireplace, and seamless indoor-outdoor transitions to the .25+/-acre lot with decks, lawn and flower beds.
