Carmel, CA on the Monterey Peninsula is one of the most unique, amazing places in the country.
A small seaside village with a white sand beach that stretches as far as the eye can see.
Whether you’re walking the beach by day or at sunset . . . it’s magic!
Just two hours or less south of San Francisco and other Bay Area cities, this charming town is a great getaway or a lovely place to live full time. Many of the residents – myself included – ended up on the Monterey Peninsula after years of coming down for a quick getaway from San Francisco (or some other Bay Area city) and fell in love with the ambiance, the charm, and the explosion of nature that is at every turn.
As far as Carmel real estate goes, Scenic Road, which meanders along the ocean coast of Carmel, is the jewel! This prime property overlooking the Pacific Ocean with nothing in between goes for a tidy sum – price dependent on location, view, and condition of the property.
Three such properties are currently on the market. In addition to the first property mentioned that is OPEN this Sunday at 26357 Scenic Road (which was recently reduced by $905,000), the home shown above at 26443 Scenic Drive on Carmel Point is offered at $11,000,000.
This incredible 3BR/3BA 2,648 SF home is listed by one of my associates at Alain Pinel Realtors® and is extraordinary. Previously the home of the famous painter, Thomas Kinkade, it was redesigned and constructed in a contemporary luxurious design taking advantage of the amazing views of Stewart’s Cove, Point Lobos and the azure Pacific Ocean.
The third home, a 3BR/3BA 2,601 SF residence, is located on Scenic and Stewart and is offered at $8,875,000. Three very different properties ~ all waiting for your viewing.
To view any of these homes or others on the Monterey Peninsula, call me to make an appointment or stop by my
Open House on Sunday 4/24 from 2:00-4:00pm at 26357 Scenic Road.
I’m looking forward to talking to you and helping you find the perfect home for you. 831-320-6801
“Good Old Days” are back again ~ Pacific Grove, CA
April 9th and 10th 2016 Pacific Grove, CA
Don’t miss the 59th Annual Good Old Days Celebration taking place today and tomorrow. Every year residents and visitors look forward to this local event which begins with a parade Saturday morning down Pine Street and continues Saturday and Sunday with a wide array of fun events.
When I first moved to Pacific Grove 17 years ago I couldn’t believe what a big event this little seaside town puts together. I even have been in the parade a couple of times with my then 97 year old mother riding in the front seat of my convertible. What a thrill it was for both of us!
It’s the largest arts and crafts show in the county, and features over 225 art and food vendors in downtown Pacific Grove on Lighthouse Avenue. There will be live entertainment on five stages with old-fashioned games and contests, and lots of family fun.
The schedule of events can be found on the Pacific Grove Chamber website. To mention a few highlights you’ll be able to enjoy “Moonalice, Thom Cuneo Jazz Band, The Snarky Cats, Rayburn Brothers Band, Stu Heydon Blues Band, Samz School of Rock, Short Band, PG Pops Orchestra and more!”
New this year is the BookWorks Dance Stage! There will be eight dance groups performing back-to-back-to-back from 11:00 am until 5:00 pm. The dance groups include PGHS Breaker Girls Dance Team, Stevenson School Dance, Azahar Flamenco de Monterey, RockStar Dance Studio, DiFranco Dance Project, Park Avenue Belly Dance, Dance Center Carmel, and Groove Like BollyWorld.”
So come to downtown Pacific Grove and join the fun!
Sunset on Monterey Bay
When I admire the wonders
of a sunset or the
beauty of the moon,
my soul expands
in the worship of
the creator
