On the northwest side of downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea, this is the ultimate pied-a -terre. Once you arrive at Gem by the Sea, no car will ever be needed. Just moments from the buzz of cafes, wine tasting rooms, gourmet dining and art galleries of the village and a leisurely stroll to the white sands of Carmel Beach. This is truly a vacation home. New construction in 2014, the home has been maintained perfectly, the residence feels fresh, intentional, and timeless. The interior is defined by rich hardwood floors and millwork detailing that echoes the classic Carmel aesthetic while offering the modern comforts of a newer build. The main level is thoughtfully designed with two bedrooms, ideal for guests or a home office, while the primary suite claims the entire upper level. Accessed by a gentle set of stairs, this retreat features a private deck with ocean views and a spa-like bathroom complete with a freestanding tub and separate shower. Turn-key coastal elegance, this cottage offers a level of privacy and craftsmanship that is increasingly hard to find. Features AC, Ocean Views, Exterior Spa and attached 1 Car Garage.
