Designed to maximize the view and blend with relaxed California living, this home offers seamless indoor-outdoor flow, sun-filled living spaces, and a front-row vantage point to Carmels dramatic shoreline from the living room, primary bedroom suite and wrap around west-facing deck. Walls of glass frame crashing surf and vibrant nightly sunsets creating a sense of serenity and connection to nature that few properties in the world can match. Additional features include two generous-sized bedroom suites with updated baths, cozy 3rd bedroom/flexible space, an attached 2-car garage with workshop and storage, outdoor patios and intimate back yard that provide privacy, dining options and space to zoom out and unwind to the calming sights and sounds of the sea. Located just moments from two of Carmels white, sandy beaches, world-class restaurants and wine-tasting, Pebble Beach Golf links, and Carmel-by-the-Seas charming village, this is a rare opportunity to own an iconic Scenic Road address where beauty of the coastline becomes a part of your everyday life.
