Description

For more than a century, Carmel has provided sanctuary and played generous muse to artists, poets, writers and anyone with an inborn sense of beauty and a profound connection to the simple grandeur of nature. Few properties convey this unique legacy as palpably as 232 Highway 1. Originally built in 1920, this Spanish Revival style home is a masterwork of a caliber so rarely observed in our modern world. Each room rewards those attuned to intricate details: hand-painted ceilings and exposed wood beams, sculpted doors and columns, elaborate tile work, and curved windows revealing views of cypress trees and framing a wild and eternal sea beyond. A renovation in the early 2000s introduced modern amenities while preserving the architectural qualities and fine features that make this property truly special. Wake up each morning to an ocean panorama in the upstairs primary suite, which adjoins a dazzling, mosaic-clad bathroom and a refined study with a fireplace. The kitchen is a revelation with a La Cornue range, and the downstairs Turkish spa is a banquet for the senses, beckoning visitors into the soaking tub, the dry sauna, or the steam and waterfall shower to delight in a multi-sensory experience for the mind, body, and soul in a sublime, otherworldly setting.
232 Highway 1, Carmel, CA 93923 is a 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom, 4,730 sqft single-family home built in 1920. It last sold for $5,335,000 on Jul 5, 2024 (3% below the $5,495,000 asking price). It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $6,811,100, with a rent estimate of $9,248/month.

    "It is the first neighborhood I’ve ever lived in that every neighbor keeps to themselves! No one comes out to say hello—they just scurry into the house, avoid eye contact when smiled at in close proximity, & they peek at anyone outdoors as if they are a zombie looking for your next victim... very peculiar, when FUN is a crime, & silent ghost street is what it feels like to go out for a walk. Eerie"

    "Carmel Woods is set high enough above sea level that I can see peeks of the ocean at carmel beach. The trees are hundreds of feet TALL, & pruned to be bare, stripped of mud-length branches—prehistoric in appearance. The neighbors are all isolated and hardly social. I have never gotten beyond small talk in the 3 yrs of living here. Pollen is extremely allergenic, even in me, who is not allergic. Quiet street, to a fault. "
