Perfectly located on a tree-lined street in the heart of Crescent Park, this Monterey Colonial residence offers an incredibly practical floor plan coupled with a resort-like outdoor setting. California native landscaping, a flagstone path, quaint courtyard and covered porch create a welcoming first impression for visitors.

Just inside the formal entry, discover the gracious living room with picture window, exposed beam ceiling and stone fireplace with flanking bookcases set against the backdrop of stunning yard views. Just across the entry is the formal dining room with tray ceiling, bay window and glass-front, built-in storage. The fluid floorplan effortlessly flows to an updated, gourmet kitchen with a casual dining nook, peninsula counter seating and spacious family room with a fireplace just beyond, the perfect destination for everyday living and social meal preparation.  A powder room and ground floor bedroom with private French door exterior access and adjacent full bath complete the main level of the residence.

The sun-drenched upper level of the home is an impressive collection of private quarters. The master suite presents a true retreat defined by its private balcony and immaculate bath with dual sinks, separate shower and corner soaking tub. Two light and airy secondary bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bath with dual sinks and shower over tub. A fourth upstairs bedroom offers opportunities for an office or home gym.

The manicured rear yard of the home presents the ultimate destination for outdoor entertaining and play. Accessed from both the living room and family room, the terracotta and brick terrace is the perfect place to host friends and family. Reminiscent of a Santa Barbara style resort, the terrace offers a gas fireplace, pergola with overhead heaters and ample seating for both dining and casual conversation. The rear grounds also include a built-in barbecue, lush lawn, mature landscaping for privacy, a detached one-car garage that offers versatile possibilities and ample off-street parking.

Impeccable updating and details include brand new Andersen casement windows and French doors throughout the home, hardwood floors, intricate woodwork and moldings, new Taj Mahal leathered Quartzite slab counters at the kitchen, Viking and Sub-Zero stainless appliances, custom iron railings, chic lighting, fresh paint, lower level basement storage and upstairs laundry facilities.
