Seller Motivated and ready to make concessions: A rare Monterey retreat—newly repositioned, thoughtfully improved, and surrounded by nature. Set on an oversized, private lot of nearly one-half acre, this distinctive single-level residence offers four bedrooms, two-and-one-half baths, and approximately 2,127 square feet of warm, versatile living space. A fully permitted addition creates two separate living areas, providing exceptional flexibility for entertaining, working from home, extended household living, or simply enjoying room to spread out. The newly completed sunroom draws in abundant natural light and creates a peaceful place to gather, read, dine, or take in the surrounding landscape. Substantial improvements include a new roof, new sewer line, new sunrooms, new furnace, water heater and whole-house water filtration system, offering meaningful upgrades beneath the beauty of the home. Rich wood flooring and classic terracotta tile add warmth, texture, and timeless California character throughout. Outside, the dual-entry circular driveway offers ease, convenience, and ample access, while the expansive grounds provide privacy and space rarely found this close to the heart of Monterey. Behind the property, a City-owned and maintained forest forms a serene natural backdrop, creating a sense of seclusion, greenery, and quiet. With its generous lot, flexible floor plan, updated systems, inviting sunroom, and remarkable connection to nature, 249 Mar Vista Drive is more than a home—it is a private sanctuary with room to live, gather, and grow on the Monterey Peninsula.
