Property Description

Behind a white picket fence, shaded by a mature sycamore, this 1890 Victorian cottage sits back from a quiet, tree-lined street in South Salinas, within easy reach of Salinas High School and Old Town Salinas. The facade shows its pedigree: a front-gabled pediment with cornice returns, bracketed eaves, dentil molding, and a columned portico framing a red door with an arched transom. Windows overlook gardens of potato vine, hydrangeas, roses, and lavender. Inside, ceilings soar. Crown molding, hardwood floors, and crystal chandeliers carry through the main rooms. The living space opens wide around a fireplace, flowing into a dining area and an open kitchen with wood cabinetry, granite counters, stainless appliances, and a gas range. The bedrooms keep the same scale and vintage detail: paneled doors with glassy knobs, massive windows, and tall ceilings. The primary offers an ensuite bath and a walk-in closet with built-ins. A sunlit corner bedroom makes for a natural study. Out back, a broad lawn spreads at the base of a sprawling olive tree, with lemon, peach, apple and fig trees, a white bench, raised garden beds, and roses along a brick path. A 10,000 square foot lot and R-M zoning suggests ADU potential. Come witness true architectural prestige on grounds with room to grow.
