Step back in time, to Carmel's purest essence, in this 1931 Tudor influenced, English cottage. Perhaps lesser known, but of great importance to Carmel-by-the-Sea's early beginnings, the home was carefully built by noted Village builder, Ernest Bixler. From the steep pitched living room gable, to the arched, paneled garage doors, carefully wrapped in Carmel stone of the period, one can only revel in the immense character and charm of this home. From the kitchen window and upstairs bedrooms, one can see several peeks of the ocean, as well as a clear view of Pescadero Point in Pebble Beach. Situated on a standard, 4,000 Sq Ft lot, the home boasts a larger than allowed (by today's standards), 1,815 square foot living space, carefully aligned on the property to preserve a wonderful backyard space, including a patio and one of the larger lawns in the area. 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths compliment a gracious living and entertaining space, with soaring ceilings, big bay windows for natural light, and a beautiful Carmel stone fireplace from yesteryear. To top it all off, the property sits on one of the quietest blocks on San Antonio, while still being steps to the beach and a quick walk to town. Truly the best of all worlds.
