13 W Monterey Avenue Pride of ownership shines throughout this beautifully maintained, custom-built brick split-level home, set on just under a half-acre and offered for the first time by its original owner. With over 3, 000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, this home welcomes you with warmth, comfort, and incredible versatility. Hardwood floors flow throughout the main living areas-including the kitchen, dining, and living room-and extend into all four generously sized bedrooms. Timeless custom woodwork adds character throughout, while the inviting lower level features a striking brick fireplace, a beautiful custom wet bar, a full bathroom, and direct access to the backyard. The bright and airy kitchen is equipped with stainless steel appliances, an abundance of cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, and skylights that fill the space with natural light. The dining area, also enhanced by skylights, opens to a charming brick paver patio overlooking a flat, fully fenced backyard-offering endless possibilities, from hosting summer barbecues and memorable gatherings to gardening, play, or simply unwinding in your own peaceful, private oasis. A natural gas line is ready for your grill, along with a shed for all your outdoor tools. Well water for exterior use-paired with public water for the interior-offers both convenience and cost efficiency. The finished sub-basement provides endless possibilities, whether you envision a home office, playroom, workout area, or additional storage. The spacious laundry room includes a utility sink, cabinets and more storage! The 2.5-car garage with a tandem enclosed porch adds even more flexible space.
