Less than ten minutes from the panoramic ocean views of Lovers Point Park, get ready to fall in love with this purple palace of a home. The exterior seems almost iridescent as every hue of lavender shimmers in the sunlight. This intricate pattern looks more like dragon scales than traditional woodwork, the makings of a truly fantasy home. Built in 1916, it retains a lot of original interior features with a modern twist – the fireplace, the vintage claw-footed bathtub, and iron bedsteads are just a few worth mentioning. You’ve got a cute purple balcony to enjoy a cup of tea with views of Monterey Bay, or stay down at ground level in your private garden with a chilled glass of Californian white. Rustle up some burgers for the kids on the barbecue for lunch and enjoy alfresco dining. With Monterey Bay Aquarium just a mile away, keep the little ones entertained for the day and then head out for dinner along the coast on Cannery Row. When you get home, we recommend watching the sunset over the bay from your balcony to round off the evening. Absolute bliss.
