Circa 1835 throughout Southern California the style of Monterey architecture flourished.  In the early part of the 20th Century, a modified version of this Spanish Colonial architecture was blended with elements of early New England Colonial architecture resulting in Monterey Revival, of which this charming, 2-story homes is reminiscent.

Unifying a home’s interior with its surrounds, Monterey featured expansive windows to showcase the dramatic Pacific coast.   You may not be able to see the Pacific from its lovely windows, but you will be visually refreshed beneath the canopy of gracefully sculptured California Live Oaks that also surround this home and secure its privacy.
