I did not use AI to write this description because I am an analog home. I was built in 1918. Some things have changed but not much. I am just as charming as I was the day I was built, but I have to admit that professionals visiting recently keep saying that I'm in need of some work. I think I look pretty good for being over 100 years old. I have a detached garage and may be a good candidate for one of those new-fangled ADUs everyone is talking about. Looking for a charming home with potential in one of the most charming towns in the U.S.? You cannot beat the neighborhood, the town, the school district, and the nearby proximity to the coastal trails, Monterey Bay Aquarium, downtown Pacific Grove, and Cannery Row. Roll up your sleeves and let's see what you have in store for my second act. With risk comes reward.
