Nestled within the historic Lower Monterey Circle, where grand summer homes once welcomed generations of Washington and Baltimore families escaping to the cool mountain air, this extraordinary residence continues that legacy of elegance, hospitality, and timeless craftsmanship. Rich in history and beautifully preserved, this remarkable home offers the rare opportunity to become part of the enduring story of Monterey!
Featuring eight spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms, one half bath and a flexible bonus room that can easily serve as a ninth bedroom, executive home office, library, or hobby room, this stately residence offers exceptional space for family, guests, or multi-generational living.
Designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the thoughtfully crafted floor plan offers an elegant formal living room and a separate sitting room, each anchored by its own fireplace, creating warm and inviting spaces for gathering or quiet relaxation. The formal dining room is ideal for hosting holidays and dinner parties, while the adjoining butler's pantry adds both charm and functionality. A spacious mudroom, conveniently paired with the main-level laundry and half bath, provides the everyday practicality today's homeowners appreciate.
Throughout the home, timeless craftsmanship shines through with generous room sizes, abundant natural light, original architectural details, and an atmosphere that simply cannot be replicated in today's construction.
