Just a stone's throw away from downtown Carmel, the Forest Theater, and Mission Walking Trails, this pristine, single level cottage is your answer to privacy and serenity in the Village. A "secret" footpath, right next door, affords expedited access right into town! Pop in and out of the city's buzzing energy, or spend the day outside in the garden, in one of Carmel-by-the-Sea's most hidden gem neighborhoods... An oversized 2 bedroom floor plan, offers chef's kitchen amenities and radiant heat, throughout. The open living area spills effortlessly out onto a sunny and expansive deck, where one can daydream and listen to the birds, or entertain and BBQ for a crowd! And when nobody can find you, on-street parking is always less of an issue. Finally, the primary suite offers extra breathing room in both the bedroom and the bath, extra closet space and direct access out to a secondary sitting area. A gracious one car garage (nearly a 2 car!) also gives way to an additional storage room. Loved by the same owners for over 20 years, this home simply offers more.
