961 Loyola Drive

Here on an attractive street in South Salinas is the Contractor's Special you have long awaited. Savvy buyers and investors have a chance to secure this spacious single-level home and transform it into the envy of the entire neighborhood. Walk up to a lovely wood door featuring beautifully carved floral details, and enter into a wallpapered foyer. From here, access a formal living room where a big picture window frames a lush front yard, and a fireplace invites you to imagine family and friends gathered for the holidays. By this time next year, this amazing space can look exactly as you envision it. And the great part is that there's already so much here to love: an open concept kitchen, ample cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and a pass-through window that makes it easy to feed guests in the adjoining living room. Sporting a floor-to-ceiling fireplace, this second living area offers direct access to a delightful backyard with tall privacy fences and plenty of space for gardening. Although it is a blank canvas currently, it feels natural to imagine it overflowing with color and beauty as an ideal outdoor sanctuary. All three bedrooms are amply sized. Enjoy the privacy afforded by a dedicated bedroom wing, or reimagine the traditional layout as something entirely fresh and surprising.
