Nautically Designed Carmel Gem

The pleasures of land and sea are close at hand at this 3-bedroom, 3-bath home in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by tall Monterey pines and live oaks, with the sight and sound of ocean in the distance, yet less than a mile from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Guests entering the spacious 2,000-square-foot-home will find themselves in a newly painted and furnished residence where the ocean environment is part of the interior, with beach-themed décor in soothing shades of blue, white and aqua. The reverse floor plan places bedrooms on the first floor and kitchen and living areas on the second floor to take advantage of views through large west-facing windows. The location less than a mile from the beach is also just 15 minutes from wineries and restaurants in Carmel Valley, a half hour from the dramatic views of Big Sur, and 10 minutes to golf and dining in Pebble Beach, or to Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Upon your arrival you will be greeted with complimentary hors d’oeuvres and wine or sparkling cider, tickets for a wine tasting at Scheid Vineyards’ tasting room in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and a basket of local information. An assigned concierge vacation house manager is available to assist you during your stay. We have also provided spa amenities in the bathrooms, spa robes and beach gear. The entryway includes a restful reading area adjacent to the three bedrooms. The first bedroom contains a queen bed and the second bedroom has two twin beds, with cheerful nautical elements throughout. The bedrooms are next to a bathroom with a tub-shower combination, large mirror and tile floor. The master bedroom contains a queen bed with wooden headboard and HDTV, as well as an en suite bath with custom tile shower that includes a built-in bench and two sunflower shower heads, tile floor and large vanity. A sliding glass door leads to a private outdoor deck overlooking the fenced back yard. Kitchen, dining area and great room flow together on the light-filled second floor, with skylights and large windows bringing the outdoors inside. The open floor plan ensures easy conversation and activities throughout the space. A walk-in pantry and a full bath with shower can also be found on this floor. Two large sofas and comfortable seating are in the great room under a rustic open-beam ceiling. A table for four can be found near a window, just right for playing games or doing puzzles, or watching the 50-inch HDTV with Blu-Ray player. Ocean views and sunsets can be glimpsed from the outdoor deck, which includes seating, a bar area and a gourmet grill, the perfect place for enjoying a glass of wine at the end of the day. The Pottery Barn-style dining table seats six beneath a candle-look chandelier, and is located next to the kitchen, which includes updated appliances, gas cooktop, granite countertops and custom tile backsplash. The Internet service is designed for Internet and email, not streaming large amounts of data. DirecTV service has a robust selection of television and movie selections. Small, well-behaved pets may be brought with owner’s approval.
