“Half Pint” is a dream cottage in the golden rectangle of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Reimagined down to the studs about five years ago, this single level home was rebuilt to the highest standards of craftsmanship and professional design. Behind the front gate, the warm stucco and masonry exterior perfectly complements the verdant garden and Carmel stone outdoor fireplace. This three bedroom, two bathroom single level residence enjoys high vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and custom finishes throughout including leathered marble counters, wire brushed reclaimed-oak floors, African mahogany doors, natural clay walls, and more. All major systems have been upgraded including new electrical, plumbing, radiant heat, and roof with skylights offering wonderful natural light. The backyard is a private spa oasis, beautifully centered around a vibrant Japanese Maple set within tall ivy-rich fences. Every detail was accounted for on this quintessential Carmel home just four blocks to the beach, and six blocks to town.
