Perched on a desirable street-to-street lot a block up from the picturesque Monterey Bay coastline and its magic pink carpet, this captivating 5 bedroom, 3 ½ bath home exudes the charm of a fairytale life. Through the gated front entry, past the stacked stone stairwell and manicured garden, sits this one-of-a-kind home complete with full a basement, 3 car garage with a workshop and hobby room, and a low-maintenance groomed backyard. The first floor captivates you the moment you walk in with its plaster walls and ceilings, wood floors and moldings, period light fixtures, and expansive water views. This thoughtfully designed home takes advantage of the Bay and city night light views. Three large bedrooms and 1½ baths are located on the ground floor. Upstairs holds a guest bedroom suite and the primary suite complete with an office/sitting room with a balcony and breathtaking water views. The walk-in basement is light and bright with three window wells and a generous space for movie watching/game playing plus room for storage, a workshop, and perhaps a wine cellar. The late Peter Fischer, co-creator of Murder, She Wrote and writer for many shows, spent his retirement years writing mystery novels from his desk overlooking the Bay. As he said, "I lived an extraordinary life!"
