252 Chestnut Street

Imagine having your own wonderful, historic Cape Cod style house in cool coastal Pacific Grove, complete with white picket fence! Located in a neighborhood of quaint historic homes, like that of a story book, this property is just a block from Washington Park and an easy 15-minute walk to down town, beaches and trails. This gem has been owned, loved and carefully maintained by the same family for forty years. Preservation of the historic home has been the long term goal, while creating a light, comfortable and very livable space. Nine-foot high bead-board ceilings and large original windows bring light and views of the garden to the interior. Refinished 135 year-old Douglas fir floors lend a warm, rich quality to the rooms. An open floor plan gives the house a spacious feeling, with the living room flowing into the dining area and the kitchen. Floor to ceiling hand-made custom cabinets, granite counters and high-quality appliances create a particularly nice cooking experience. White and black hexagon bathroom tile creates a modern twist on grandma's tile. A large stacked washer/dryer set are conveniently tucked away in an alcove between the bedrooms. The house has new window coverings, Wolf cook-top, floor furnace, heated bathroom floor, water heater and roof.
