This immaculate 3 bedroom, 2 ½ bath MJ Murphy designed cottage is exactly what a Carmel-by-the-Sea cottage aspires to be. Oozing with charm and classic details throughout it features vaulted ceilings, wood, stone and tile floors and cozy fireplaces that add to the warm ambiance for those cool coastal evenings. The spacious living room boasts soaring ceilings, open beams and fireplace, and the chef’s kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line appliances ideal for culinary enthusiasts. Additionally, there is a ground floor TV room/office, and the primary bedroom suite offers a peaceful retreat with its own fireplace, walk-in closet and French doors leading to a sun-drenched, south-facing patio. The luxurious en-suite primary bath includes a stall shower, soaking tub and dual sinks, while the charming guest bedrooms offer unique touches—one with a cozy seating nook, and the other with a private balcony. The beautifully landscaped, fully fenced yard features private spaces and established flowering gardens, while the gated entry leads to a paver driveway with courtyard and detached 2-car garage. Meticulously maintained inside and out, this gem is located in Carmel’s coveted Golden Rectangle, just a short stroll from Carmel Beach, downtown restaurants, galleries, and cultural events.
