443 Watson St, Monterey, CA 93940

Lovingly called “The Big House,” 443 Watson Street is a historic turn-of-the-20th-century Victorian in Monterey’s storied core, offering immediate income and long-term legacy. The front residence is configured as a modern duplex—two spacious units each with four bedrooms and two baths—with a separate upper entrance, original fireplaces, exposed beams, built-in window seats and abundant period detail. Behind it, a flexible triplex includes two 2-bed/1-bath flats and a 1-bed/1-bath lower unit; rear bedrooms capture unobstructed Monterey coastline views. Set on a remarkably large lot, the property invites multigenerational compound plans, ADUs, expanded outdoor living, or thoughtful subdivision (buyer to verify). Perfect for families who want shared space with privacy, or investors who prize coastal location, rental income, and renovation upside. Walkable to downtown dining, shops, and the waterfront, 443 Watson pairs historic craftsmanship with bold potential. Bring an architect, bring a builder, bring a vision—this is a rare Monterey canvas for restoration, income, and multi-generational life.
