Nestled on a desirable street-to-street lot with a detached garage and a large garden, the possibilities for this charming Mediterranean-style home are numerous - including the potential for adding an ADU. The light streaming through the kitchen windows in the afternoon as you look across the back deck into the garden reminds you why you wanted to live in this quaint town. Although the home has been updated with modern conveniences, the original charm can still be felt throughout - from the repeating arches to the garden gates to the iron light fixtures and plaster walls. Featuring two bedrooms, one bath, and a bonus half-bath. Located in an ideal spot, not far from Asilomar Beach and Downtown Pacific Grove, you will enjoy easy access to great restaurants, coffee shops, and boutique shopping. Whether you are seeking coastal walks or urban conveniences, this property delivers the best of both worlds - with a heavy dose of charm and an unusually large yard for the area.
