    What's special

    Full unobstructed bay views
    16 La Playa Street is more than a townhouse, it is a front-row seat to Monterey Bay and a true standard for oceanfront living, offering full, unobstructed bay views. The front door is 10 steps from the beach, and inside, numerous windows fill the home with natural light while framing the ocean throughout the day. Imagine waking up to the bay as your first view and enjoying the ever-changing scenery of sailboats, marine wildlife, and coastal skies. The main living area features 2 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, with two balconies - one on each level - offering ideal spaces to relax and take in the expansive views. A private outdoor sitting area provides another peaceful place to enjoy the setting with views of Monterey Bay in front of you. Downstairs, adjacent to the garage, is an additional full bathroom and bonus room. Set next to the Monterey Bay Coastal Recreation Trail, this property offers immediate access to an 18-mile route connecting Castroville to Pacific Grove. Fisherman's Wharf and downtown Monterey are less than a 20-minute walk away. Oceanfront homes with this combination of views, beach access, outdoor recreation, and walkable lifestyle appeal are difficult to find and impossible to duplicate. Come and see for yourself before it's gone!
