A meticulously restored Pacific Grove cottage offers peace, quiet and privacy in a tree-lined neighborhood that is within walking distance of parks, the Monterey Bay Recreation Trail, and downtown restaurants and attractions. The 2-bedroom, 1-bath 850-square-foot home, built in 1923, has been remodeled to keep all of its historic charm while adding modern conveniences and a beautifully landscaped yard. Among the many charming features are vintage shutters, plaster walls, an original Carmel stone fireplace, vaulted ceilings, and large windows that let in generous natural light. The coastal/eclectic interiors reflect the nearby beaches in soothing tones of white, driftwood and blue. The home is just a quick half-mile walk from downtown Pacific Grove or to the bay and Recreation Trail; it’s also close to wooded trails throughout dog-friendly Washington Park and nearby 17 Mile Drive and Pebble Beach. Other nearby attractions such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row are about 5-10 minutes away by car, and shopping and dining in Carmel-by-the-Sea are within 15 minutes. The landscaped front yard features native grasses, rosemary and succulents with a backdrop of California live oaks. Inside, the living room features a unique artisan-made iron chandelier, hardwood plank flooring, and cozy seating around a Carmel stone fireplace with gas log that will become the focal point of family gathering, games and conversation.
