This room is wonderfully furnished, and is in the second story of a brand new, two-story home. The house is one of TruMark's building achievements (named Laiya) in the Central Coast of CA. it has 4 bedrooms and 2 1/2 baths and is located about a mile and a half from the shore and is part of Monterey County, dubbed by locals and visitors as "Heaven on Earth".
