Perched just above & moments from the shoreline, the home offers a refined coastal lifestyle where fresh ocean air, garden blooms & natural light shape the rhythm of everyday living. Originally crafted by master builder M. J. Murphy, whose work helped define the architectural character of the Monterey Peninsula, the residence carries a quiet sense of heritage. Steeply pitched gables, smooth white stucco & a prominent chimney create a timeless storybook silhouette framed by curated gardens & classic hardscaping. Inside, sunlight filters through generous windows, revealing tranquil ocean glimpses while illuminating warm wood floors & beautifully scaled living spaces. An elegant fireplace anchors the gathering area, where classic character meets comfortable modern living. Outside, gardens & stone pathways come alive in the spring air. Patios invite morning coffee with the sea breeze, relaxed afternoons outdoors & golden evenings beneath open skies. Set within one of PGs cherished seaside neighborhoods, this residence offers architectural provenance, understated luxury & the enduring beauty of coastal California living.
