Give yourself unparalleled access to the entire Monterey Peninsula and beyond when you move into this sun-dappled residence just minutes from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. Take a leisurely drive along Carmel River State Beach, or stop for a scenic walk through Point Lobos before returning to your home, peaceful and hidden behind lush greenery. Timber trusses cross the vaulted ceiling in the open living room. Hardwood floors run beneath them, stretching into a dining area set against an oversized picture window framing the Santa Lucia Mountains. Eight-inch glass panels surround clear patio doors to create a wall of glass. Updates abound throughout, including a brand new washer and dryer. Two bathrooms are newly remodeled. And the kitchen, with all new appliances, white cabinets, and a sea-glass backsplash, offers the privacy you crave while you cook, while keeping you connected. Take in the fresh coastal air on the deck, stepping down into an expansive yard to bask in the shade of California live oaks. Not counted in the square footage is an enviable basement area with hardwood floors and multiple spaces to relax and unwind. Settle into the highly desirable Carmel River School District, and into a life where the coast, the village, and the open road all sit minutes from your door.
