1199 Harrison ST

Set in the quiet hills above downtown Monterey, this mid-century modern home is wrapped in pine and washed in light. The back of the property abuts a peaceful greenbelt, giving the home a forested, evergreen backdrop, while the tucked away street keeps the setting calm and unhurried. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed wood beams set a dramatic, airy tone from the moment you step through the door. Walls of glass and clerestory windows pull in abundant natural light and frame the surrounding tree canopy from nearly every room. That same warm, dappled light carries through the open living and kitchen area and into a second living room, a bright, sunlit den with brick flooring that glows just as warmly. Generous bedrooms offer comfortable retreats, and the bathrooms retain their original character and charm. Just minutes from downtown Monterey's restaurants, shops, and waterfront, this home offers a rare combination of architectural warmth, forested views, and genuine quiet, all close to everything.
