This delightful 2-story residence, nestled in the prestigious Altos de Monterey neighborhood, has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for over 42 years. Upon entry you are greeted by a stunning living room w/ fireplace & views of the gorgeous lush garden. Natural light shines bright into the dining/family room, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen w/ plentiful cabinetry. Gleaming hardwood floors, double paned windows/wood shutters, powder room & attached 2-car garage complete this level. Up the handsome wooden staircase is an oversized master bedroom w/ a comfy sitting area by the window, 2 closets & master bath. Down the hallway are 3 additional bedrooms, a full bath & linen cabinetry. The beautifully landscaped garden is perfect for entertaining/dining al fresco. Just steps away from the desirable Monterey Hills Elementary School. Truly a "home sweet home".
