About This Home

As of December 2024

Welcome home to this magical wonder years cottage in the coveted Beach Tract neighborhood of coastal Pacific Grove. Here, mid-century charm meets modern elegance, with a stunning living room boasting gorgeous newly-refinished oak hardwood floors, redwood plank walls and ceiling with exposed beams, and custom redwood built-ins centered around cozy stone fireplace. The home is spacious, with comfortable bedrooms and generous closet spaces. The warm and timeless kitchen exudes pristine vintage appeal, featuring bright garden windows that overlook a storybook outdoor sanctuary where soothing ocean sounds lull from nearby. This spectacular gem has been meticulously maintained, showcasing evident pride of ownership throughout. Beautifully landscaped grounds include drip irrigation, manicured privacy shrubs, orange and lemon trees, meandering flagstone patios and walkways, and a long driveway leading to detached garage. The back gate opens wide for potential boat storage, and there is even a hot water spigot outside for rinsing off after your day at the beach. The property is situated perfectly on a lovely side street mere moments from the golf course, the majestic Monterey Bay, and all the many special qualities that make living in this one-of-a-kind destination so special.
