This Southwestern-style hideaway overlooking the Pacific Ocean is the perfect place to get away from it all, with a romantic master bedroom suite, plenty of outdoor patio areas, and most of all, magnificent views of the ocean south of Yankee Point.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home has floor-to-ceiling windows to take full advantage of the view, as well as open-beam ceilings, skylights, Danish modern furniture, and hardwood floors throughout.
The master bedroom suite features a sitting area/TV room in addition to a huge cedar-lined walk-in closet, bathroom with dual sinks and large shower lined with glass blocks and river rock. The 2,500-square-foot residence is close to Yankee Point and other Carmel Highlands attractions, including Point Lobos State Natural Reserve. Although the area feels secluded and private, it’s just 10 minutes by car to a major shopping center and to the restaurants and galleries of Carmel-by-the-Sea. It’s also only 20 minutes to the world-class golf courses and restaurants of Pebble Beach, to monarch butterfly sightings in Pacific Grove, or to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Other attractions within a half hour’s drive are the natural wonders of Big Sur and wine tasting and dining in Carmel Valley Village.
Upon your arrival, you will be greeted with complimentary cheese and wine or sparkling cider, wine tasting passes 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.
Guests enter the front door into the great room made up of living room, dining room and kitchen, ideal for entertaining or hanging out with family. A unique river rock fireplace surround features a large piece of driftwood imbedded into the wall above the wood-burning fireplace. Opposite this is a comfortable sectional couch facing a 60-inch HDTV.
The adjacent dining area offers seating for six, and the nearby kitchen offers a vintage Gaggenau gas cooktop, Thermador wall ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator and a small wood-burning fireplace. Turquoise tile countertops add a bright touch, and a double sink makes cleanup convenient. A built-in bench and a desk area offers space for sitting and reading, or doing paperwork.
Down the hall are two bedrooms, both with queen beds and luxury bedding. Both have access to outside patios through sliding glass doors. A hallway bath offers dual sinks and a tub/shower combo, and also off the hall is a laundry room with washer and dryer.
On the other side of the house, the master bedroom suite features a large sitting room for enjoying the 36-inch HDTV in the evenings, with a door providing private access to the back yard. The suite includes a large cedar-lined walk-in closet with plenty of room for clothing and accessories. The bath features a unique shower, big enough for two, made of river rock and glass block, as well as a private commode and his-and-hers sinks. The bedroom features a wood-burning fireplace and a queen bed with luxury bedding.
The large backyard features drought-resistant plants and a small home vineyard, and offers patio seating and a gourmet gas grill for afternoon barbecues. Parking is available in the one-car garage and also in the driveway.
