Property Description

Welcome to 600 Martin Street, a historic treasure located in the heart of Monterey. Originally built in 1895, and once the summer vacation lodge of President Herbert Hoover and his wife Lou Henry, this timeless home is rich in history and classic beauty. The original redwood interior evokes a sense of authenticity, perfectly complementing the home's Arts and Crafts architectural style. Featuring high ceilings throughout, 3 stone fireplaces, large bedrooms and bathrooms, and an upstairs bonus room, perfect for an office, playroom, or bedroom/guest space. An attached 600 square foot studio with a separate meter is complete with an additional separate entrance, private patio, kitchen and bathroom, and can be used as added guest space or a rental. Recent upgrades include a 3 year old roof, owned solar panels, updated exterior and interior painting, augmented French drains, efficient water heater, historic wiring renovation, and more. 600 Martin Street is an official Mills Act home, a qualified historic property in California receiving property tax relief in exchange for maintaining and restoring the property.
