This winged icon, having gone through a massive renovation and restoration by acclaimed designer Jamie Bush, has been celebrated as a landmark architectural treasure, living art, & a near perfect example of mid-century architecture. The Butterfly House is just one of five true oceanfront properties in Carmel and one of the largest, incorporating its own beach and cove.
