Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a treasured and one of the most significant properties in Carmel's history. Welcome to the Grace MacGowan Cooke House, once the home of sisters and celebrated writers Alice MacGowan and Grace MacGowan Cooke. Built in 1905, this residence is steeped in history and is one of the earliest homes constructed in southwest Carmel. This home became a focal point for Carmel's bohemian crowd like Jack London, George Sterling and a young Sinclair Lewis. Located just one block from Carmel's pristine white sandy beach and Cooke's Cove, this historic property offers timeless character and exceptional coastal living. Many original features exist in the home: the rock fireplace, wonderful inscription on the stairway wall, enclosed sunroom, and leaded windows throughout the house. With four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a breakfast room, an open dining and living area, four fireplaces, garage, and ocean views from the second floor this is truly an unique property.

No weekly rateNo published rate within 7 days of this date.ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
No earlier records were returned by our current sources. This does not mean the home has never sold.
