Step into a piece of Carmel history with Ocean House, a charming one-bedroom, one-bath cottage designed and built in 1928 by Carmel's famed "Builder of Dreams," Hugh Comstock. This enchanting Tudor-style English cottage is one of five homes commissioned by eastern investor W.O. Swain and thoughtfully arranged to create the feeling of a spacious English garden park.

Full of original character, this standalone home features beautifully refinished hardwood floors, a Carmel stone fireplace, multi-pane wood windows, a vertically planked front door, and a steeply pitched roofline characteristic of Comstock's iconic designs. Fresh carpeting in the bedroom and modern kitchen conveniences provide comfort while preserving the home's historic charm.

English cottage details abound, including a small wall dormer, ivy-covered fencing, and charming architectural elements that make this property truly unique. Drought-tolerant landscaping surrounds the home, complemented by mature, twisted oak trees that enhance the storybook setting.

Tucked back from Ocean Avenue, the property offers a private and manageable backyard perfect for enjoying Carmel's sunny afternoons. You'll enjoy the rare combination of privacy and convenience, with downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, world-class restaurants, galleries, boutiques, and Carmel Beach all just a short walk away.

As is common with many of Carmel's historic cottages, the home does not have on-site laundry facilities or washer/dryer hookups.
