508 4th street

This is one of those homes that somehow just feels different from the moment you enter, even before you discover why. A hacienda-inspired property from 1930, it shines today, fresh off a head-to-toe remodel that brought it closer to its original Mediterranean ideal while ensuring its next owners enjoy easy living, with every modern amenity one could want. An arched portico beckons first as you stand on the sidewalk beholding this gleaming residence on an uncommonly large corner lot in Pacific Grove. Passing through, step across sun-washed tiles to the entry, which gives way to a stunning interior, where every detail instantly evokes the best of Spanish Revival design, though everything smells, and is, brand new. In the living room, sculpted plaster walls and coved ceilings whisper alluringly of the Old World. Take a beloved volume of classics from the built-in bookshelf with curved edges, and nestle close to the warm, glowing flames that flicker inside a fireplace accented with apricot-colored tiles. Vast picture windows frame views of a pristine yard where a pergola shelters a fire pit. Savor meals in a formal dining room with all-around windows, right off a kitchen with brand new Forno appliances, cantilevered shelves, and a walk-in pantry. The rest awaits discovery in person.
