947 West Franklin Street

This ”fixer upper” ornate Queen Anne Victorian with spectacular views of Monterey Bay from high, in ”Old Town Monterey Heights” is perfect for inspiration and creativity. With separate water and PG&E meters for 2 buildings on one property, the main residence offers 4 beds, 2.5 baths, and just over 2,000 SF of living space. Showcasing timeless architectural details, beautiful woodwork, and a rustic stone fireplace, this house has class. While public records list the construction date as 1928, there is speculation it may date back to 1907. Cherished by the same family for more than 50 years, the property presents a rare opportunity to restore a Victorian home to its original grandeur. Adding to its appeal is a 935 SF potential art studio in the 3rd floor attic with an adjoining sun deck. The 800 SF rear house is a real asset, with 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, ideal for extended family, rental income, or creative use. Another bonus is ample driveway parking for up to 7 cars and a garage/shop.
