One element here seems fairly fresh, and that’s the scattered gangs of palms and native, low-growing grasses that dot the four-lane street’s center divider. On a grey and kind of blustery afternoon in early summer, a pair of songbirds hide among the treetops, raising an impressive racket. Elsewhere along the block, foliage is ever-present but largely unremarkable. One notable exception is the home at 567 Monterey, a stone/wood confection swathed in near-suffocating amounts of ivy that still appears looked-after. We even spot a contemporary twist, as the home’s upstairs living room is decorated with posters from relatively recent Fillmore shows: Elvis Costello, Sleater-Kinney, and so on.

Other homes look tired and/or nondescript from the outside, but we suppose there’s a chance their interiors are spotless, thanks to Five-Star Housekeeping at 521 Monterey. This so-called housekeeping agency includes, as you’d hope to expect from such a concern, a tidy shopfront window featuring a French maid, or at least a lovingly carved miniature figure of one. We’ll call her Brigitte. Brigitte carries a tray with a feather duster, a scrub-brush, and a few boxes of detergent and fabric softener, her long blonde hair tucked atop her head. Five stars for authenticity, indeed.
