Presenting a meticulous, craftsman style cottage in one of coastal Carmels hidden sunbelts. Offering views of the Santa Lucias from the primary bed, and a little hidden peek of the Pacific, this home was constructed roughly 20 years ago, and used as vacation home by one owner. Spend your day in the quiet backyard, soaking up the sun, or walk into downtown Carmel and soak up the energy! An intelligent, partially opened floor plan offers tons of volume in the living areas and natural light everywhere you look. The chef's kitchen makes hosting or cooking at home a breeze, and you can see and feel the attention to detail in the spaces. Radiant heating throughout. An oversized, one car garage adds to the effortless usability of the house. There is nothing to do except move in and write your own story in this perfect little house.
Welcome to this rare opportunity to experience an elite Carmel dream house from this exceptional front line Scenic Road coastal retreat, perfectly positioned above the open Pacific with sweeping, unobstructed ocean-scapes. Designed to maximize the view and blend with relaxed California living, this home offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, sun-filled living spaces, and a front-row vantage point to Carmels dramatic shoreline from the living room, primary bedroom suite and wrap around west-facing deck. Walls of glass frame crashing surf and vibrant nightly sunsets creating a sense of serenity and connection to nature that few properties in the world can match. Additional features include two generous-sized bedroom suites with updated baths, cozy 3rd bedroom/flexible space, an attached 2-car garage with workshop and storage, outdoor patios and intimate back yard that provide privacy, dining options and space to zoom out and unwind to the calming sights and sounds of the sea.

A rare expression of California coastal living, evocative of the iconic Sea Ranch where architecture is shaped by its extraordinary setting. Directly across from the trails and wild beauty of Point Lobos Nature Preserve, this home is a Carmel Highlands retreat, privately set on one usable acre amid Monterey pines and forest. Expanded in 1975 with a striking architectural addition designed by Peter Lee and master builder Stephen Trapkus. Soaring ceilings frame the forest and blue Pacific beyond, seen from every room of the home, while a rooftop observation deck offers rare vistas of tree tops and Point Lobos. Floor to ceiling windows and multiple decks, the stone patio is ideal for a hot tub, with a sauna inside for ultimate relaxation. Sheltered from coastal wind and highway noise, the property offers a tranquil setting and a wonderful neighborhood to explore the scenery. The flexible floor plan can function as 2 or 3 distinct spaces or one retreat, ideal for multigenerational living, a yoga or wellness wing or artists retreat or musicians studio. Ownership also includes access to the keyed Yankee Point Cove and Mal Paso bluffs. A protected bird sanctuary below the property further preserves the feeling of privacy and ensures minimal surrounding development. Welcome Home.
