Rooftop Retreat - Monterey House - Walk to the Monterey Aquarium

Oceanviews... and a splash away from the Monterey Aquarium, Cannery Row (restaurants, shops), and San Carlos Beach. This classic bungalow, crafted in 1935, has been lovingly restored and is a great central location for enjoying all the delights of the Monterey Peninsula.   The open and airy great room features beautiful wood flooring, a pitched ceiling with beams and a skylight, a wide, galley style kitchen, and a peninsula with seating for four. The kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances including a gas stove, refrigerator with in-door filtered water/ice dispenser and a dishwasher. A microwave oven, toaster and drip coffee maker are at the ready. The living area has a large sectional sofa and a 65” wall-mounted TV.  Primary suite #1 (King bed) is at the back of the bungalow, affording privacy along with a 43” television (with streaming apps) and a walk-in closet. The en suite bathroom features a tub/shower with rainshower head and a vanity with two sinks. Bedroom #2 features a large closet and a queen size bed. Bedroom #3 includes twin bunk beds and a roomy closet. The full hall bathroom has a beautifully-tiled shower with rainshower head and is located conveniently to both guest bedrooms. A door off the primary suite leads to a spacious patio framed by a huge graceful oak where a small, freestanding building equipped with a desk and large monitor offers a private workspace. The home’s namesake rooftop terrace will beckon you to  enjoy the bay views. Comfortable outdoor furniture and a railing with wind-break panels provide a space for relaxing and breathing in the fresh sea air.
