Experience your own private and luxurious European estate with all the charm and amenities included with living in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. This stunning ivy covered home with slate roof and rustic wood shutters is located on a private 3/4 acre, gated compound just a short stroll from shops and restaurants. Tucked away in a peaceful environment bordering the Mission Trail Nature Preserve, the home features cathedral beamed, hand-hewn pine ceilings inspired by the design of a ship’s hull. Quiet radiant heating is throughout all rooms, under the limestone or antiqued oak flooring. A deeply set Gothic arched redwood front door opens into the formal entry of the home, consisting of 3 bedrooms, den or office or 4th bedroom and 3.5 bathrooms, including the privately located downstairs primary suite with limestone fireplace. The living room, breakfast nook and family room feature three additional floor to ceiling formal carved fireplaces. All of the main rooms open to stone patios connected by meandering pathways through lush gardens surrounding the home. The property includes three outdoor fireplaces and a small redwood writer’s cabin with its own fireplace and patio. A property of this size and quality is a rare find in our charming village by the sea, and is now available for the first time as a vacation rental. Come enjoy Carmel living at its finest.
