Dreaming of retiring to Carmel CA? Well, who wouldn’t? The Monterey Peninsula is a popular place to retire for many active seniors. The decision to leave behind the crowded streets, parking problems, and the hectic lifestyle of more crowded places seems to be a “no brainer” for many.

One of these communities is called Hacienda Carmel. Located about one mile east of Highway One off of Carmel Valley Road, one can purchase a condominium for a very reasonable purchase price compared to the other properties for sale on the Monterey Peninsula.

Once Upon A Time in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA

April 30, 2017 Susan Clark

NE Corner of Santa Fe & Mountain View listed by Alain Pinel Realtors ~ offered at $1,325,000

Carmel-by-the-Sea is not only charming and fairytale like, but it has a few quirks. For one thing, there are no addresses. Yes, I know, for those of you who don’t know Carmel, it’s hard to believe a town without addresses, but it’s true. In order to tell someone where you live, you describe it’s location, for instance NE Corner Santa Fe and Mountain View. Now this starts getting really complicated when you live mid-block, but we’re not even going to go there today. In addition to a “description of location” as an address, homeowners give their homes a Name and have it on a sign in front to further help their friends and visitors find then. This delightful home for sale is called Snow White’s Cottage and I’ll be holding it open on Sunday.

Open House Sunday 4/30 1:00 – 4:00 PM Offered at $1,325,000
