22700 Picador Drive, Salinas, CA 93908

A high verdant knoll curves against the bright blue skies over Toro Park Estates, forming the backdrop of this two-story property that sits right on the greenbelt. Bordering one of the region's most beloved nature parks, it offers proximity to trails without actually being on a trail, so you can enjoy the access while staying insulated from visiting hikers. Spend hours walking scenic paths that take you across rolling hillsides and alongside pastures where spring lambs run and leap clumsily through the grass. Back home, kick back in spacious rooms that support both privacy and camaraderie. A fireplace with a wall-length stone facade anchors a living room with big picture windows. The formal dining room connects to the heart of the home: a gourmet kitchen with a six-burner Thermador gas range, stainless steel appliances, wood cabinetry, and a center island with speckled granite countertops. A separate bar with three wine refrigerators and glass-front cabinets was built with the connoisseur in mind. Pour a glass of your favorite red as you make your way to an added sunroom with a bonus den. Sloped wood ceilings, offset beautifully by a stone accent wall, lend height and rustic character, while wall-to-wall windows fill the room with light and invite views of an enclosed backyard.
