About This Home

As of November 2025

Offered for the first time in decades, this 1925 Tudor Revival gem is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a piece of Carmel Highlands history. Designed and built by M.J. Murphy this architectural treasure stands as one of the most authentic and enduring examples of his work. Set on a private knoll above Tickle Pink Inn, surrounded by English-style gardens the residence features hallmark Tudor details including pitched gables, hand-hewn beams, 2 masonry wood-burning fireplaces and custom restored casement windows true to a 1920's design. With four bedrooms, all with ensuite bathrooms, rich wood-clad walls, most windows facing the Pacific Ocean and multiple french-doors that open to the private, protected courtyard in the back of the home this home offers both emotional resonance and architectural distinction. This home also boasts an elevator, generator and full, mostly finished basement space with an office and workroom. While historically significant, it is not under formal preservation, allowing for flexibility and thoughtful updates. Located just 10 minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea, this legacy home offers peaceful seclusion and coastal elegance.
