Above the majestic Carmel coastline lies a newly remodeled, contemporary beach house that inspires with clean lines, complete privacy, and breathtaking sunsets. Set on 1.24 manicured acres, the three-bedroom, three-bathroom main home takes full advantage of its oceanfront surroundings. As you enter the front door, you are immediately taken by the panorama of the sea, soft finishes, and cool tones that invite a feeling of tranquility. The open-concept kitchen and living room serve as the central gathering area. Two-ocean view decks provide additional space to relax and unwind. There is a separate one-bedroom, one-bathroom guest house with a quaint viewing deck on the southwest corner of the property and a detached two-car garage. Walking paths lined with low-maintenance, native plants and mature trees connect all three structures to create a harmonious link between the landscape and living space. We look forward to welcoming you to your new beach house on the Carmel coast!

"Misty" the Errol Garner song that was featured in the movie "Play Misty for Me". This spectacular property was the setting for the final scene in the movie. Perched on the cliff above the wild and beautiful Carmel coast, this 1.25-acre compound features a completely remodeled three-bedroom, three-bath residence and one-bedroom guest house. From the living room, kitchen, and two of the bedrooms, you can see the ocean in all of its moods. The turquoise and blue water crashing on the rocks below add drama to this serene property, which is completely fenced and private. Contemporary in style but warm in atmosphere, there are fireplaces in both the main residence and the guest house with a chefs "galley style" kitchen in the main residence. A truly unique and beautiful property in a very exclusive part of the Carmel coast. There are few homes that afford this kind of view and setting this close to the ocean!
