The Big House and More

The Big House is our Common House, plus it contains 8 households in coop-ownership apartments.  Monterey also includes 7 townhouses (connected by tunnel to the Big House), The Big House is an Edwardian style mansion, built in 1924, and it stands at the center of the community, containing over 6,000 sq feet of common space. Spaces include a Living Room, Library, 2 Guest rooms, 3 season enclosed porch, dining room, newly remodeled kitchen, office (w/fax & copier), playroom, laundry room, workshop, entertainment room, and four fireplaces throughout. Eight  of the community units are located on the upper floors of the Big House.

We have a central courtyard, (between the Big House and the townhouses), a front yard, with driveways and parking bays (incl. garages) on the periphery. The grounds of the 2.5 acre site are beautifully landscaped by our residents. There is even a community vegetable garden space.

The rear of the property adjoins a small park, reachable by a short walk through community owned woods.
