On Carmel Highlands' renowned Spindrift Drive, this oceanfront residence nestled in a private rocky cove showcases breathtaking views of the rugged Carmel Highlands coastline. The dramatic high-ceiling living room enjoys intimate views of the surf crashing on the rocks below. A main floor master suite features a stunning spa/bath with marble vanity, exotic stone and a window to a private enclosed patio with water feature. The upstairs master suite with adjoining office boasts sweeping ocean views. There is a private interior courtyard offering options for sunny sheltered outdoor living, and a meandering trail leads to an oceanfront knoll with fresh ocean breezes, evoking the feeling of being on the bow of a ship. "Home is the Sailor. . . Home from the Sea" is carved above the fireplace and embodies the essence of this coastal enclave.
