About This Home
As of December 2024Year after year, thousands of monarch butterflies arrive at their winter sanctuary in Pacific Grove, staying from October through February in a special eucalyptus grove just across the street from this post adobe style home that can be your own place of refuge on the Monterey Peninsula. Relaxing in the living room, while golden rays of late afternoon sunlight stream in through an oversized window and play against your warm hardwood floors, you are sure to see countless of these beauties fluttering by outside, and you will discover a newfound appreciation for the singular charm that defines Butterfly Town, USA. Beautifully simple, this delightful bungalow nourishes the soul with everything one needs: two carpeted bedrooms with elevated white ceilings, big windows, and painted brick accent walls; an updated bathroom; built-in shelving; and a gloriously modern kitchen with pristine cabinetry, a gas range, and an original stained glass accent window. Enjoy a peak of the ocean from the front of the home, and explore the back deck that sits at the foot of a towering tree, hearing nothing except the distant breathing of the ocean, a cool breeze brushing the leaves of the trees, and gentle birdsong. Like the monarchs before you, once you find this place, you will know you are home.
