32680 Coast Ridge Drive, Carmel By The Sea, CA 93923

Property Description

Situated on 1.2 acres of gently sloping usable land, this Carmel Highlands retreat captures ocean views from the kitchen, living room, and primary bedroom. Keyed access to the private cove at Yankee Point and Mal Paso bluff makes this an exceptional neighborhood for walking the coast. Surrounded by iconic Monterey Cypress trees on the coastline that inspired Clint Eastwood's "Play Misty for Me" and served as the backdrop to "Big Little Lies", the property offers a rare blend of charm and privacy. Excellent curb appeal greets you from a private driveway, with stacked stone terracing shaping the grounds. Custom woodwork throughout adds warmth and soul, complemented by modern rustic style, all-new appliances, and a high-efficiency furnace. Large upstairs bonus area works as an office, yoga studio, or private writing sanctuary. Three outdoor patios create wonderful indoor-outdoor flow, including a sun-drenched terrace for barbecuing and entertaining. A large detached two-car garage with Tesla charger provides ample storage. Peaceful and private, yet 10 minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea, this special property is an idyllic coastal retreat with easy access to Carmel's restaurants, galleries, and amenities.
