This iconic thatched-roof cottage is perfectly located between the Carmel Mission and Mission Trails Park. Charming on the inside and out, the home is filled with an abundance of natural light. It's larger than it appears from the street thanks to a two story addition completed in the 80s. The main floor features the living room with a cozy brick fireplace, dining room with windows and big views of the Santa Lucia mountain range, and a galley kitchen with beautiful granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. A large deck extends the living space outside so you can enjoy the fire pit under a starry sky. Downstairs there are two sunny bedroom suites with abundant closet space and a sizable laundry room. Recent upgrades include the finished backyard complete with a cedar wood soaking tub and a direct path to Mission Trails. This is quintessential Carmel living.
