A charming Carmel bungalow with a story to tell, this lovingly restored home blends the character of its 1960s origins with thoughtful modern updates and an exceptional walkable location. Ideally situated just blocks from Carmel Beach and close to downtown Carmel, enjoy the simple pleasure of strolling to morning coffee, galleries, dinner, or a sunset walk along the shore. Having undergone extensive alterations since 2015, the home was redesigned to honor its cottage character and connection to nature, with high beamed ceilings, natural materials, and light-filled interiors. Smart features bring effortless modern living, including remote-controlled and Bluetooth-enabled lighting, a smart-controlled fireplace, and a hidden smart projector with a 100+ inch screen that descends from the ceiling for movie nights at home. New skylights add to the natural light, while a reverse osmosis system and ample storage provide everyday convenience. Outside, the beautiful, fairy-tale-like garden creates a private and magical retreat, complete with a hot tub, fire pit table, and inviting spaces to relax beneath the trees. This quaint getaway offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful escape that feels tucked away from it all, yet close enough to enjoy Carmel's charm and energy.
