This 2004 Carmel Heritage Award Winning Cottage, a beautiful English Country inspired home was built in 2003, and is only four blocks from the famous Carmel Beach, and 4 blocks from the village of Carmel. First time on the market. The home was designed with careful consideration to maximize volume, with soaring natural wood ceilings, board and batten interior walls, and a combination of Chilean Cherry hardwood flooring and tumbled Italian marble stonework throughout. You are welcomed to an enchanting, landscaped front yard with classic Carmel Stone, a water feature and lush flora which perfectly blends the home with nature. Along the stone path, you discover an inviting arched Dutch door through which you are greeted with the warmth of natural light streaming in through numerous windows. The living room features a majestic floor-to-ceiling Carmel Stone fireplace, adding to the relaxing and cozy feeling of the home. The main floor includes 2 guest bedrooms and a bathroom, a living room, a dining room, and a chef's kitchen with pantry that connects to a laundry room. The living and dining room have French doors that open to a beautiful backyard patio and lawn, also seen through custom conservatory windows. Attention to detail is apparent throughout this charming home with custom handcrafted windows, cabinets and doors with luxurious radiant heated floors throughout. The second-floor primary suite is sprawling, with high ceilings, French doors, private patios, a bonus room, and a claw foot tub in the primary bathroom. This is a perfect place to call home in Carmel-by-the-Sea.
