About this home
Located in Pacific Grove and offered for the first time in over 50 years, this half-acre property carries a story that is hard to replicate. Originally a 1920s dairy barn and later known as Otto's Acres, it became a long-time gathering place for weddings, holidays, and family celebrations. Throughout the home, pieces of local history have been thoughtfully incorporated into the structure. Solid wood doors reclaimed from the historic Pacific Grove Public Library reflect craftsmanship rarely found today. A distinctive loft space sourced from a local Episcopal church adds architectural interest and a sense of layered provenance. The main living area features vaulted ceilings that create scale and presence, anchoring a space clearly designed for gathering. Artistic details, including kitchen tile inspired by Claude Monet's home in Giverny, reflect the creative vision behind the home's evolution over time. With four bedrooms and three full baths, the layout offers flexibility and square footage to reimagine the space according to your needs. Set on a generous half-acre lot just minutes from the coastline and downtown, this is an opportunity for someone who sees potential in a property with history, character, and room for its next chapter to take shape.
