It's a rare moment in time when a property and opportunity like this present itself. Welcome to Seven Gables, a storybook-inspired Carmel-by-the-Sea home in the coveted Golden Rectangle, just blocks from world-famous Carmel Beach, charming shops, acclaimed restaurants, and renowned art galleries. This home evokes the timeless character of the 1920s yet was built in 1990 with seven high-pitched gables, paned windows, stone pathways, a custom iron gate, classic front porch, and elegant architectural details. The elevated lot sits above the street giving it a presence and uniquely private setting w/sounds of the breaking waves from your porch. Inside, vaulted wood-beamed ceilings, fireplaces, abundant windows, French doors, and thoughtfully designed living spaces create warmth and charm. The main-level primary suite opens to the private dining patio and enchanting gardens. Two upstairs bedrooms share a charming balcony, while the lower level offers a versatile fourth bedroom/family room or office, fireplace, wet bar, full bath, laundry, and storage. Professionally landscaped gardens provide inviting spaces for entertaining or quiet reflection. With exceptional walkability to the beach and village, Seven Gables offers an opportunity to experience the very best of Carmel-by-the-Sea.
