A beautifully renovated French Country home offering Carmel character with modern updates. Originally built in 2008 and fully renovated in 2022, the home welcomes you through a charming grape stake fence and front patio, then opens into a warm, light-filled interior. Cathedral ceilings, exposed wood beams, French Oak floors, hand-plastered walls, and a stone fireplace create an inviting main living space. The chef's kitchen features a striking emerald quartzite island, high-end appliances, and custom cabinetry. Upstairs, the primary suite features a gas fireplace, balcony, and a spacious bathroom with a jetted tub, walk-in shower, and dual sinks. The two bedroom two bath main house opens up through French doors to extend the living area to a private backyard with beautiful landscaping and multiple seating areas. A separate one-bedroom guest house, currently used as an art studio, is set across the patio and provides flexible space for visitors or work. The detached garage contributes to the property's storybook curb appeal and includes utility space. Located within easy walking distance of downtown Carmel, this special home offers the quintessential Carmel-by-the-Sea lifestyle.
