Some homes have a story. This one has chapters. Built circa 1938, this storybook cottage at 724 Cypress Street sits on three lots - one parcel - framed by ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss with sweeping views of the Monterey Bay that stop you mid-sentence. At 1,085 square feet, it's intimate without apology, with hardwood floors, a sun-drenched bay window, and a layout that just makes sense: primary bedroom on the ground floor and a room upstairs with panoramic views for a guest room or creative retreat. A quiet office tucks away for focused work, and an enclosed porch, complete with washer/dryer hookups, adds everyday practicality without sacrificing the cottage charm. Outside, the ironwork gate, the creamy stucco facade, the mature tree canopy - it all feels like Monterey. But here's what makes this property truly rare: the land. Three lots with R-1 zoning and ocean views in a conveniently located neighborhood perched above Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Whether you dream of remodeling and/or building an ADU or simply living in something out of a storybook, this property holds both possibilities. Opportunities like this rarely come twice on the same street. How will this chapter end?
