About This Home
As of August 2018Always dream of owning a Pacific Grove Victorian cottage close to town and the beach? Here is a great opportunity for you to make that dream a reality. Built in 1889, this adorable 910 sq ft Victorian has 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with trademarked high ceilings and is full of charm. It also has a secret... it is set on a street to street lot with a detached 249 sq ft guest house with an additional full bath plus a 2-car garage behind it. I bet you cant find another Victorian like it in Pacific Grove!
