203 Sansome Street, Salinas, CA 93907

The backyard alone will sell this house. A custom covered pavilion, vaulted beam ceiling, stacked stone walls, built-in BBQ, stone bar, fireplace, and a mounted TV turns the outdoors into a second living room you'll actually use. The stamped concrete patio stretches wide under the California sun with a patch of lawn tucked alongside for good measure. Inside, the living room earns its keep: rich floors, vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a brick fireplace, and a slider that opens straight to the patio so the party moves easily in either direction. The kitchen has its own personality. Deep blue-grey cabinetry in abundance, granite counters, tile flooring, and a dining counter between the dining room keeps things both practical and good-looking. Four bedrooms, three full baths, plus a dedicated office or spare 5th bedroom - all spread across two stories, enough room for the whole household without anyone tripping over each other. Two-car garage, 7,300+ sq ft lot, and a gated driveway large enough for an RV. This one was built to be lived in, not just looked at.
