311 Congress Avenue

Who are the neighbors? Deer who stroll the block, sea otters and sea lions along the shore, and the occasional whale passing through. And maybe you. This happy-yellow two-story home sits a few blocks from historic downtown Pacific Grove, the coastal recreation trail and the beach at Lover's Point. Inside are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steal appliances, tile backsplash, and its own coffee bar, which comes in handy, because upstairs the primary suite has a balcony overlooking the Monterey Bay. Mornings are for that coffee and watching the horizon for a spout. Evenings are for a glass of local wine, taking in the city lights across the Bay. The primary suite has the entire second floor to itself - with vaulted, open beam ceilings and plenty of natural light. Coastal cottage is the vibe with more chic than shabby. The guest bedroom on the ground level can multi-task as an office or family room. Out back, the private brick patio has been newly restored and the landscaping refreshed. Bonus - something hard to find this close to downtown, off-street parking on a new paver driveway. The deer will keep walking wherever they please, but you will have a parking spot of your own.
