$400,000 - 1023 W Laurel Way, Monterey

Not finding anything with privacy AND condition? Look here. Built in 2022 and upgraded in 2025, this home sits on 3.84 wooded acres in Cumberland Cove and offers a combination that's getting harder to find right now: modern construction, functional layout, and land you can actually enjoy. Inside, the space is clean, open, and designed for everyday living. The kitchen has been updated with quartz countertops, stainless appliances, and durable LVP flooring - giving you a low-maintenance, move-in-ready setup from day one. The main-level primary suite keeps things practical, while upstairs gives you flexibility with two bedrooms, a full bath, and a loft that works as an office, bonus room, or guest space. But the real value shows up outside. Covered front and back porches. Nearly four acres of wooded privacy. Space to expand, garden, or just not see your neighbors every five minutes. And being in Cumberland Cove means access to private trails, waterfalls, and scenic overlooks - without giving up convenience to town. Here's the reality: Buyers right now are choosing between older homes that need work... or waiting months on new construction. This gives you neither problem. If you've been watching the market and haven't found the right fit yet, this may be the one that finally checks the boxes.
