Persistence

 

IMG_2688

Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence.

Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.

Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.

Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

The slogan “press on” has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

– Calvin Coolidge (30th US president, 1872-1933)

Why is the Country Club area of Pebble Beach the choice of so many that move to the Monterey Peninsula?  I’m sure there are many reasons . . . for one thing, you can take a short lovely stroll and end up at the beach listening to the surf and enjoying a picnic or an amazing sunset!

It’s a quiet and serene way to live close to nature, yet it’s easy and quick to get to shopping in Pacific Grove or to Highway One to visit the other Monterey Peninsula cities.

It is a mecca for golf with both public and private courses minutes away.  Pacific Grove Golf Links “offers the most affordable golf on or near the Pacific Ocean”  The back nine has breath-taking views of the coast and the course also offers a pro shop and restaurant.

The famous Monterey Peninsula Country Club is a private club near by that hosts the AT&T Pro Am that will be taking place in early February 2016.  In addition to these courses there are many public courses in Pebble Beach as well as in the surrounding area.

The Country Club area is known for privacy as well as quiet.  The parcels are much larger than in nearby Pacific Grove.  For instance the lot size of the home at 1117 Sawmill Gulch Road is a quarter of an acre allowing space between neighbors.

Ok, back to why is this amazing home the Best Buy in Pebble Beach? I confess this is a bit subjective, but look at the facts.  It is priced at a reasonable $1,295,000 (just look at the prices of some of the others!) yet is beautifully remodeled.  The owners lovingly did extensive upgrades after they purchased the home updating the kitchen, baths, windows, flooring, fireplace, and installing new baseboards, crown moldings, French doors, skylights, and Casablanca fans.  They also upgraded the things you can ‘t see like the electrical, plumbing and outdoor drainage system.

Why do I love this home?  I love it’s flow. It’s all single level with one room easily flowing into the next.  Also, the vaulted ceilings in the living room give it a very spacious feel – you have a sense it is much larger than the 2123 SF it actually is.

And the gourmet kitchen is amazing!

I love to kick-back and the family room is my kind of place to do just that.  Numerous windows and skylights make it a bright, light room.

The 2-car garage is extra roomy with room for storage and a work bench even with 2 cars inside.  That would make my husband very happy :)

If I have peaked your curiosity Take a Complete Tour along with a video if you hang in there.  The floor plan and Feature list is also included with the Virtual tour.  Or . . . just come by one of the Open Houses this weekend and see for yourself!!  Of course, I am always available to give you a private tour.

Best wishes for a wonderful holiday with family and friends!

This may have been one of my most favorite holiday seasons . . . but then I may say that every year!  I am always filled with gratitude for all my many blessings.  Just living in this beautiful and awe inspiring place on the Monterey Peninsula I feel very thankful and very blessed.  Whether you live in Carmel, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, or   Monterey, you are living in one of the most beautiful and amazing places on earth.

At this time of year we particularly think of others.  At our Alain Pinel holiday gathering we not only had fun singing holiday songs, but we also raised over $7000 for the Community Partnership for Youth (CPY) in addition to donating all kinds of toys, balls, legos, art supplies, and learning games for their after school program for at risk youth.

The Salvation Army is one of my favorite charities so I was there to ring that bell!  People were so generous and gracious.

As a realtor my gratitude list always has to include my clients – past clients who I have represented over the years and current clients who I am now representing either by selling their home or helping them find their dream home on the Monterey Peninsula.  December 12th I had a Pie-Give-Away party to say THANK YOU  for some of my local clients and gifted each one with a Sweet Elena’s pie.  All had smiles on their faces as they left with their beautiful and delicious pie!

The only thing left to say is Happy New Year 2016!

Happy New Year!

May you have a New Year filled with love, health, prosperity, and joy!
