Share News:
Monterey, California has some of the most unique real estate offerings around. And we found two that are sure to catch your eye. Both luxurious retreats afford idyllic locations and exquisite views. But their price points? They are miles apart! Choose between the Manor Road Splurge or the Seafoam Avenue Steal and see which one suits you best in this week’s Splurge vs. Steal.
Splurge: Historic Monterey Estate Minutes From Carmel Beaches, Golf, And Private Schools $5.495M
First, our splurge. If you’ve dreamed of owning a historic Monterey mansion, now is your chance. This exquisite Manor boasts 1939 architecture, lush manicured grounds, and an ultra-private locale.
Tucked behind iron gates, the seven-bedroom, four-full-and-two-half-bathroom stunner is an oasis of luxury living. It rests on 4.4-acres, mere minutes from Carmel’s top-rated beaches. Plus, it’s also close to the famous Pebble Beach golf course and exemplary private schools in case you want to relocate.
According to the listing, “Built by George Loorz, the general contractor for Hearst Castle, the home is a stunning example of Georgian architecture reminiscent of the grand estates of California’s history.”
Inside you’ll find jaw-dropping design, with intricate moldings and archways, a dramatic great room and library, elegant formal dining, and more.
Lastly, there is a grotto-style swimming pool, music room, home gym, and outdoor patios and courtyards to entertain.
Tim Allen Properties with Coldwell Banker has listed 1450 Manor Road, Monterey, California for $5.495 million.
Steal: Private Contemporary Masterpiece Overlooking The Ocean Steps From The Beach For $2.998M
Next up, our steal. For nearly half the price you could find yourself basking in majestic views of the California coastline from this three-bedroom, three-bathroom contemporary. Walls of glass blur the lines inside and out, met by gracious terraces for whale and dolphin watching. Even better, you can walk to the beach! Per the listing, “Enjoy beach walks, surfing, paddle boarding, biking trails and more.”
Here you’ll find soaring ceilings, built-ins, and custom millwork. And the gourmet kitchen is fit for a chef, further adding to the appeal. However, nothing compares to the master suite! It’s a spa-like oasis in the sky with your own private terrace for taking in the views.
Finally, the listing adds, “This unique, architecturally-designed gem in the Del Monte Beach area is an ideal house for relaxing and entertaining.”
