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.
ABC’S of the Monterey Peninsula ~ “C” is for “Car Week”
Carmel ~ Pebble Beach ~Pacific Grove ~ Monterey
Note Regarding 2021: Every August one of the biggest events of the Monterey Peninsula rolls along. This year, 2021, it will be taking place August 9th – August 15th. Last year in 2020 it was not held because of Covid so I know we will have a lot of fans on the Monterey Peninsula this year! Not all events will be taking place this year, but we will get to enjoy the popular Concours on the Avenue August 10th in downtown Carmel, a free event, and Concours de Elegance on August 15th. There are many more car shows and auctions during this week so check the SCHEDULE and have some fun!
Every year car enthusiasts converge on the Monterey Peninsula (which includes the towns of Carmel, Pebble Beach, Pacific Grove, and Monterey) from all corners of our nation and beyond to attend a week of events, road rallies, parades, parties, fashion shows, racing, and car auctions.
The week culminates on Sunday with the prestigious Concours d’ Elegance in Pebble Beach. But first on Thursday there is a Tour D’Elegance and Display on Ocean Avenue in Carmel- a free event.
(Unfortunately this event will not be taking place in 2021)
A number of the cars showing on Sunday do a Road Tour of the Monterey Peninsula and stop in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea for lunch in the park and have their vehicles on display on Ocean Avenue. How cool is that?
Wow! Love that color!
“Car people” look forward to this week with its events and parties all year. For the locals it is just great fun to partake of some of the events and enjoy the “Car Eye Candy” on the streets of Carmel and Pebble Beach!
Antique cars polished to perfection, Ferrari’s, Corvettes, Porsches,
Bentleys – you name it and its here!
Owner polishing to perfection
The owners furiously polish their cars because soon the judges will appear and their car will be judged for prizes – and who doesn’t like to win!
Every year new events are added and the menu becomes more and more diverse, plentiful and delightful! For instance this year there was a new event called the “Prancing Ponies” which happened on Wednesday. It was a group of Women Ferrari owners showing their cars and raising money for charity. Now that’s a club I’d like to join!
Maybe next year??
There is something now for everyone’s tastes and pocketbook. Many of the events, also, raise thousands for Charity ~ so that’s a good thing.
Other than the Thursday Tour D’Elegance, another favorite event of mine is on the Tuesday of “Car Week” and is called “Concours on the Avenue” (Tuesday August 10th this year from 10:00am-5:00pm) which takes place on Carmel-by-the-Sea’s world famous Ocean Avenue and is FREE!
This is the newest large event founded by Doug and Genie Freedman. Sixteen blocks of downtown is filled with collector cars including Luxury Cars, Muscle Cars, Hot Rods, and Sporting Cars.
The spit and polish needed to prepare these automobiles for showing and judging is incredible!
Tiffany will be on hand with beautiful trophies for the winners and, of course, those famous “blue boxes”! This impressive presentation is free to spectators and benefits the Carmel Foundation that provides a wide variety of services to local seniors.
Tiffany trophies waiting for the lucky winners.
To add to the fun the merchants up and down Ocean Avenue have decorated their show windows with displays that depict the car industry. Be sure to check out our Alain Pinel Realtors window display at the NW corner of Ocean and Dolores.
A Morgan unbelted!
It’s impossible to mention every event there are over 50. There are the auctions, the car displays, auto road rallies, racing out at Laguna Seca, reunions of car clubs, Concours Italiano, and even Concours D’Lemons. No matter what there is enjoyment and fun for all – so take your choice this week and the years to come.
And if you fall in love with the Monterey Peninsula while you’re here and would like to find your Dream Home, give me a call!
