1244 San Marcos Drive Salinas, CA 93901

This single-level residence located in the highly desired Monterey Park of South Salinas offers a generous footprint of what awaits you. Push open the front door, and find yourself not in a living room, but in a sunny, glass-enclosed central courtyard. Surprise! Sliding glass doors give way to a character-rich main room, a brick fireplace pouring in an abundance of natural light that cuts through floor-to-ceiling glass windows to meet the top of a pitched white wood vaulted ceiling. Glass walls continue into the adjoining dining area, and the backyard views they grant seem doubled by the clever use of a mirror on the wall separating the kitchen and formal dining room. Two wings along either side of the courtyard compose the layout. Find three spacious bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a bonus living space in one wing. The current setup has the primary bedroom and en suite bathroom flowing into a private hallway connecting them to an informal drawing room with courtyard access, a wet bar, and a fireplace. Use it for entertaining, as a home office, or make it a fifth bedroom. Don't let this mid century gem get away!
