In the very heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea, nearly new and impeccably maintained, this charming cottage combines a refined coastal comfort with luxurious finishes and details throughout. The main living and two guest bedrooms are downstairs while the master enjoys privacy and peeks of the ocean on the second level. This ideal pied-à-terre takes full advantage of its 1,600 sq.ft. with a separate dining area off the entry way, a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast bar and a living room that opens up to a gorgeous deck complete with a sleek outdoor fireplace. The master suite is an oasis all to itself with French doors that open to a small deck so you can hear the waves crash as you sleep. And the master bathroom has a beautiful soaking tub and walk-in closet. A smart home built by Chris Tescher in 2014, this property features Nest thermostats in every room, Sonos surround sound and 3 Ecosmart fireplaces. Simply speaking, it just doesn't get better than Charming-by-the-Sea!
