The moment you wind up the private driveway beneath a canopy of mature oaks, you know this place is something special. Tucked away on a usable acre in Prunedale's Brentwood neighborhood, this single-story country home offers privacy, space, and natural beauty that's increasingly hard to find on the Central Coast - a quiet retreat minutes from Hwy 101 and the Monterey Peninsula. Multiple flat areas spread across the property - shaded oak groves, open slopes ready for a garden or RV, and a long paved driveway with room for all the toys. The grounds include terraced raised beds and mature landscaping that puts on a show year-round. The decks bring the outdoors in: a covered front porch with oak and pine views, a rear deck overlooking the gardens, along with a private primary suite deck. Inside, the great room anchors the home with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, vaulted wood-plank ceiling, and wide sliders to the outdoors. The layout flows from living to dining to kitchen, with a view of the backyard terrace. Three bedrooms, two baths, two-car garage with laundry and built-in shelving. Bonus: ADU potential gives you room to grow.
