About This Home

As of August 2021

Nestled among the trees in your own private, park-like setting in the Carmel Highlands, this 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home (plus studio) sits on just shy of an acre with filtered ocean views. This mid-century home is tucked behind a fenced yard accessed by two gates and a pass-through driveway with one-car attached carport and ample outdoor storage space. Inside, this two-level home has a compact but useful kitchen, two-story ceilings with floor-to-ceiling windows on the west-facing side of the home, and fireplace with wood stove. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms - the master bedroom opens as a loft overlooking the living room below featuring peeks of the ocean through the tree-studded lot. There are two half baths with a shared shower/tub combo. Enjoy this stylish vintage hideaway as-is or take advantage of the rare opportunity to remodel a unique iconic property situated on a large private lot in the woods of the Highlands.
