The most lavishly ornamented Victorian on the Monterey Bay and one of the Central Coast’s most renowned National Landmark homes. A 10,000 square foot Queen Anne mansion designed by famed San Francisco architect Thomas Welsh and built for the colorful historic figure of Major Frank McLaughlin in 1891 at the very peak of the opulent Gilded Age. This magnificent crown jewel sits atop Santa Cruz’ Beach Hill - perfectly poised to look out across the City’s bustling downtown and up to the foothills and great open meadows that flow into the distant mountains at the same time it overlooks pristine stretches of sand and surf nestled along the riveting coastline encircling the Monterey Bay Sanctuary.
