3 NE Santa Rita & 1st St, Carmel, CA 93923

This Carmel-by-The-Sea home with detached guest house is a real gem! Set on a 6,000 sf mildly up-sloped parcel, the well-tended cottage affords a 10 minute walk to the center of the village. The main house of 1109 sf has 2 brms with walk-in closets and 2 full baths. Hardwood floors, a chiseled fireplace mantle and open beam ceilings with skylights create a warm and inviting abode. In the backyard, a detached 1-brm guest house with kitchen and laundry room offers a fully independent living space for either family, or a renter. The landscaped grounds also have a small studio for art, or extra storage space. Two driveways on opposite sides of the property provide off-street parking for 3 cars, suggesting the conversion of one driveway into an enclosed garage. There is also the possibility of enlarging the living area to the full square footage allowed for this larger lot. If you're searching for your Brigadoon home in a peaceful village, seek no further.
