Sunset Vistas and Extensive Stone Patios

As this home has a city imposed 30 night minimum stay allowing just one booking per month, it is preferred that all 30 nights of your stay be in the same month. Should your preferred dates of stay not meet this request, please send an inquiry first and we will reach out to the home owner for approval prior to booking. A Craftsman-style home with impressive views and a mid-century modern vibe offers a peaceful retreat in a quiet neighborhood of Carmel-by-the-Sea, close enough to walk to downtown but away from the hustle and bustle of the main thoroughfares. The two-bedroom, two-bath house, built in 1955, offers ocean sunset vistas through large windows as well as on its wrap-around deck. Gardens filled with citrus trees, succulents and ceanothus contain private patios behind a historic stone wall, with a variety of seating areas perfect for quiet contemplation or admiring the birds and butterflies that come to visit. The 1,435-square-foot residence is within easy walking distance from Carmel Plaza, a premier shopping center with wine tasting rooms, shopping and restaurants, and downtown Carmel’s art galleries, fine dining and upscale boutiques. It’s also just a 10-minute drive to golf and dining in Pebble Beach, or attractions such as Pacific Grove’s butterfly trees and the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Upon your arrival, you will be greeted with complimentary cheese and wine or sparkling cider, 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, as well as spa robes, and beach gear with everything you need for a day at the beach, including chairs, blankets, towels, umbrella and cooler. A style mingling mid-century modern with an eclectic mix of unique and antique furnishings highlights this home, starting in the kitchen, which has a vintage Wedgewood gas stove with six burners and two ovens, in addition to cheerful blue countertops, white cabinetry and hardwood floors. An adjacent dining area with seating for six shares the views with the cozy living room, which features a sitting area near a 42-inch HDTV, and another around the gas fireplace, with comfortable Danish modern-style couches. An adjacent desk offers a place to set up a laptop computer and a small library includes books on local history. Views of the ocean, Monterey pines and cypress, and the coastal hills are made possible by the large west-facing windows, and guests will be certain to enjoy sunsets either inside the living room or outside on the deck. The master bedroom features coastal interiors in tones of seafoam, blue and white, a queen bed, and a wealth of storage space, with built-in shelves and drawers in addition to cedar-lined closets. Both the master and second bedrooms have new organic queen-sized mattresses from Monterey Mattress and hardwood floors. The second bedroom features a vintage vanity, a fabric headboard and views of the garden patios. Both bedrooms have bathrooms in a Jack-and-Jill arrangement, where they share a bathtub but have separate sinks and toilets. The master bath also has a shower. Multi-level flagstone patios outside offer a variety of places to read, meditate, or just enjoy the sunshine, with a chaise lounge and other seating available. A new washer and dryer is available inside, and several cars may be parked in the private lane next to the home.
