Tucked away in a private cul-de-sac in the heart of Carmel Village, this enchanting cottage is ready for a new owner to restore its timeless charm. Highlights include rich hardwood floors, open-beamed ceilings, and a grand brick gas fireplace, adding warmth and character to the living space.

With easy access to Carmel High School, the Barnyard shopping center, and tall the treasures of Carmel-by-the-Sea, the best of the Peninsula is just moments away. Appraisal $1.9Million (June 2025)
