Property Details
About this Property
8 Los Laureles Ave, located in Maple Park, South Salinas, is a historic property exemplifying the architectural heritage of Monterey County. Designed by H. Roy Kelley for Bruce Church and built in 1929, the mansion reflects the affluence and optimism of the Roaring Twenties. The French Tudor style mansion is approximately 5300 square feet and exudes charm, warmth and sophistication. The structure handsomely occupies an amazing .55+ acre corner lot with an oak tree perfectly positioned in the front yard nearly a century ago! With an incredibly private back yard, and a 4-car garage with a gated driveway, it is hard to believe this oasis is in the middle of Monterey Counties largest city. Highlights of this recently updated one-of-a-kind property include an amazing living room with a huge fireplace and soaring open beamed ceilings, a spacious modern kitchen, an adjoining family room with a raised fireplace, 7 bedrooms, 5 and one-half baths, an attached guest unit, a large basement, several private courtyards and much more. Historically, 8 Los Laureles has been a cherished residence for prominent agricultural families in the Salinas Valley, presenting a valuable opportunity to acquire a significant piece of local history.
