This is not your typical Carmel-by-the-Sea Cottage. “Moonsong” is truly an unexpected surprise the moment you enter the door. Set back from the street, the home is quiet and private with spacious rooms and natural light. Walking distance to Carmel River School and Ocean Avenue, the home sits on a lot and a half with a large Trex deck overlooking a yard of drought-tolerant plants lined with 3 varieties of trees and stone paths encircling a 60 year old avocado tree! The expansive living room has high ceilings and tall windows to take in the garden view while the gourmet eat-in kitchen and separate dining room have the ideal space for entertaining. There is a generously sized master bedroom suite and the upstairs den could be a possible 4th bedroom or family room. The home features a one car garage, large laundry room, plenty of storage and built in shelving. Tastefully updated and lovingly maintained, you simply can't find another home with this much privacy and space so close to town.
