Inside California’s ‘Butterfly House’ listed for $998K

If Lisa Frank were to vomit the color wheel all over a house — you’d have 309 Ninth St. This eye-grabbing property, nicknamed the P.G. — because it’s in Pacific Grove, California — Butterfly House stands out so much, it has its own entry in Atlas Obscura.

And now, it’s listed for sale. The asking price for the two-bedroom, two-bathroom, 1,334-square-foot house adorned with hundreds of butterflies: $998,000.

It’s a steal considering Zillow’s “Zestimate” is $1.02 million. Or it’s a scam considering the property was purchased for $37,500 in 1977 — about $191,000 today.

Granted, the house was just an ugly little caterpillar at that point. When the original owners, J and Sonja Jackson, purchased it, it was in such poor condition that the floor collapsed one day while J was washing dishes in the kitchen. Fed up with living in an abode that was falling apart, the retired school counselor took a hammer to the house and brought it down to its studs so he could rebuild it himself.

Multiple butterflies adorn the home’s bright exterior.

Even the garage comes decked out in butterfly patterns and bright hues.

The metamorphosis into the cozy cottage it is today took nearly two decades. J started decorating the house in the 1990s when Sonja, the secretary of the Blind & Visually Impaired Center of Monterey County, began suffering from a degenerative eye disease. Despite the fact she was losing her eyesight, they discovered she could still see bright colors. J immediately went out and bought the brightest paints he could find.

Thanks to Sherwin Williams, and her husband’s labor of love, Sonja wasn’t left completely in the dark.

Of course, it’s hard to miss the butterfly theme. Why butterflies? J wanted to pay homage to Pacific Grove’s unofficial mascot: the Monarch butterfly. What’s more, the property — which is just four blocks from the beach — is only a mile away from the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. Many of the home’s butterflies were handmade by J in his on-site workshop. He spent an average of six hours a day making them.

Even this bathroom comes with a bold blue tone.

A bedroom with a view into its ensuite bathroom.

Most of the flutter is found on the exterior of the home, where there’s a sign above the two-car garage that reads, “P.G. Butterfly House.” But there are also butterflies to be found in the bedrooms, the kitchen, the bathrooms and basically every living space. If you were to walk through the house and take a drink every time you saw a butterfly, you wouldn’t be able to walk in a straight line.

“I love the eclectic artwork,” said listing agent Arleen Hardenstein of Sotheby’s International Realty – Pacific Grove Brokerage. “One whimsical section flows to another — it’s very sparkly, fun and pretty.” According to Hardenstein, J passed away a few years ago, and Sonja is selling the home because her needs have changed.

Needless to say, prospective buyers have to be either colorblind or a fan of bright colors to live here.

“A buyer has to love this house and be willing to live in a bit of a ‘fishbowl,’ ” said Hardenstein, who factored in the décor when pricing the home. “The P.G. Butterfly House is well known in the community and attracts a fairly constant stream of visitors who are curious to see it.”

Naturally, neighbors haven’t always been fans of having a tourist attraction on their street. “I think it looks like a circus,” neighbor Wendy Davies told the Monterey Herald in 2015. “People drive by, some park in front of my house or block my driveway.”

According to J, one such spectator — who came all the way from south of the border — took a photo of the house to hang in his butterfly store in Mexico City.

“It’s amazing how many people drive by, stop, get out of their cars to look at the property and of course take photos [and] selfies,” said Hardenstein, who says they have a lot of eclectic homes on the Monterey Peninsula, but none are as unique and colorful as this one. Fortunately for Hardenstein, it has great bones.

“The home appears to be in good shape, and the interior is very comfortable,” she said.

So far, she’s received an “enormous amount of interest” from all types of prospective buyers who either love the home, love the story behind the home — or both. Haters — or negative Nancies hooked on neutrals — are gonna hate. After all, colorful cocoons aren’t for everyone. But if you’re looking for Lisa Frank personified, good luck finding a more perfect property.

Americans prioritize their home’s health over their own: poll

According to a new poll, homeowners are more likely to look after their home’s health than their own and they look to the fall as a time to get back to routine and readjust their priorities.

The survey of 2,000 Americans ages 25-54 found that of those who own a home, their home’s health scored priority over their own personal health during the fall season (71% vs. 57%).

Moreover, most Americans see fall as a time to get back into routine (73%), needing to fulfill priorities like “getting my schedule organized,” “getting the kids settled in school again” or “winterizing my home or cars.” Yet only 20% reported being on top of routine doctor visits.

Results also showed that nearly two-thirds of respondents see fall as a time to readjust their priorities for the coming year (64%).

Conducted by OnePoll for MDLIVE, the survey found that while respondents feel most on top of paying bills (46%), taking care of their family (36%) and their career (21%), 53% have a hard time prioritizing their time across all the things they need to manage.

The survey found that of those who own a home, their home’s health scored priority over their own personal health during the fall season (71% vs. 57%).

Half of respondents (51%) said that during the fall, they’d need at least five more hours in the week to complete everything they need to get done. Parents (26%) and homeowners (25%) may be the most stretched for time, citing needing at least nine extra hours.

And when that time is limited, personal health seems to take a back seat. Nearly half (47%) said that being busy means they often put off their personal health care – especially those who are parents (50%).

“With increasing inflation risk and falling COVID concerns, people are turning their attention towards maintaining the health of their things over the health of themselves,” said Dr. Vontrelle Roundtree, interim chief medical officer at MDLIVE. “However, routine maintenance to prevent a breakdown in your health is just as important as preventive maintenance on your car or your home, and virtual care is one convenient way to stay on schedule with preventive maintenance checks for your health.”

When they do prioritize health, respondents generally spend more time caring for their kids’ health and their partner’s health over their own, but 56% know that putting off their personal wellness affects how well they can care for other aspects of their life.

Results also showed that nearly two-thirds of respondents see fall as a time to readjust their priorities for the coming year (64%).

People are more likely to give into taking care of their health because of their anxiety (39%) and fear (31%), while being more likely to develop habits/regular care for their car (25%) or home (27%).

Similarly, many respondents would be concerned about their health only if they noticed sudden symptoms (35%) or gradual changes (30%), compared to 24% of homeowners who preemptively maintain their homes. And just 15% of respondents said they would check up on their health without a concern popping up.

Money may also be a factor, since half of respondents shared that they’ve skipped going to a doctor because they couldn’t afford the visit, and 39% said that putting their health care first would be too much of an expense.

People are more likely to give into taking care of their health because of their anxiety (39%) and fear (31%), while being more likely to develop habits/regular care for their car (25%) or home (27%).

In fact, results also showed that respondents’ health may be falling to the back burner, expressing more concern about their finances (72% vs. 59%) than their own well-being.

“The cost of preventive maintenance is typically far less than the cost of a repair due to breakdown, and typically takes less time; for your health, preventive care is often covered by your health insurance, and easy to access,” said Dr. Roundtree. “With fall season routines, it’s important for consumers to think of their health with a maintenance mindset just like they do the other things that require routine upkeep.”
