Why they chose this property
Our neighborhood is in the One Square Mile of Carmel-by-the-Sea. We are at the top of town, and it's an easy walk to our shopping village and just a little further to the ocean. The hike home is over a mile uphill. Great walk to town, though!
What makes this property unique
The cottage is hidden behind three redwood trees in the front and a magical private garden in the back. Carmel stone, jasmine, trees, bistro lights. See photos. Very enchanting. You won't want to leave!
