After more than a year of Covid-19 restrictions, real estate is getting back to normal. No more masks, booties, rubber gloves or hand sanitizers – and no more long legal forms for a buyer to sign in order to go in and see a property. In other words, it’s not a chore to view a home for sale!
Broker tour is BACK and today was my first time back on the broker tour circuit viewing listings in Carmel and Pebble Beach. It was a short tour – only 8 properties on tour in Carmel and Pebble Beach, but it’s a start. The properties ranged from a mere $2, 079,000, a lovely home in Carmel Meadows, to a beautiful Pebble Beach estate priced at $28,500,000 with a breath-taking view. Now that was some home, any takers?

If you are starting to think it’s now time to follow your dream of living on the Monterey Peninsula, give me a call and let’s discuss your goals, your dreams, and your future.
So many of our clients come for the weekend, and stay for a lifetime!
Pebble Beach, a place of dreams and desires. Perhaps no other place in the country immediately brings up visions in a person’s mind. It may be a picture of the Lone Cypress, the iconic trade mark of Pebble Beach, that tourists flock to so they can take a photo – perhaps a selfie with this symbol in the background to say, “I was here!”

For me, before I moved to the Monterey Peninsula from San Francisco, I was most taken by the mansions that line 17 Mile Drive as I wondered, “Who lives in these magnificent homes?”
3256 17 Mile Drive listed by Carmel Realty Company for $32,000,000.
Most of us can’t buy a home like this, however, let me tell you about a home that may be in your reach.
As of today, it is listed at the least expensive home per square foot in all of Pebble Beach. It was remodeled with care 10-15 years ago and has fantastic views of the Monterey Bay, Del Monte forest, the mountains, and the Coastline.
Also, fantastic views of the sunrise from your breakfast table.
This spacious home is 3347 square feet on a 15,695 SF lot with plenty of room for growing flowers, tomatoes, or roses!
The home has a spacious open floor plan and is a great home for entertaining friends and family.

The best part is that all of the main living areas and the master are at street level so its almost like having a single level home! The large master bedroom has probably the best view in the home and has an adjoining large master bath and walk-in closet.
Also on this level is a small bedroom/or office and another full bath. Downstairs offers lots more room for family or guests with a family room, three large bedrooms, another full bath and extra storage areas. More pluses if you can handle them . . . large rear deck, radiant heat throughout the home, a generator . . . well, I could go on and on. Come see this incredible home and buy it before someone else snatches your dream.
It is always a joy as a realtor to have a truly wonderful property to represent to the real estate market place. I’m grateful to currently have many such listings – each unique and amazing in their own way – each seeking a different type of buyer.
But what would be MY dream house as a buyer? I love a water view, and not just standing on a chair peeking out my window view, but a knock- down full-out ocean view. I want to sit down at my dining room table in the morning and look at the ocean so I remember what an incredible place I live in.
I want to sit in the same dining room in the early evening and watch as dusk sets in and the sky turns into reds, oranges, and pinks as only Mother Nature can create.

I even want to prepare dinner looking at this same view!

And, yes, I want to curl up in my living room with a good book and revel in my ocean view . . .
. . . and enjoy a roaring fire at the same time. I don’t want much do I!

I know all of this seems impossible on the Monterey Peninsula unless one spends millions, but you’re wrong. For a short time only (at least that’s how I would book it) a striking residence is available that would answer all of my dreams – perhaps even yours!!
Private entry – with a view, of course.
In addition, it is spacious with 2720 SF including 5 bedrooms, three baths with a huge 5th bedroom boasting built-in bookcases which would be a great family room. Two-car garage with additional off-street parking. Great location. Quiet, private, but easy to get anywhere on the Monterey Peninsula in a short drive. If you share some of my visions of what your Dream House looks like, come by the Open House or view the Virtual Tour and call me with any questions. Remember, run, don’t walk.
