Property Description

Sometimes the best surprises come in small packages! A dazzling jewel awaits you behind a tall hedge hiding a private fountain courtyard and surrounding built-in seating area. This charming single-level Carmel/Spanish bungalow is one of the now rare original homes built in RDM in the 1930's and still retains the charm of a bygone era. The home was totally renovated by renowned architects Matson-Britton, with arches, hand plastered walls, trussed ceiling, architectural corbels, brick wood-burning fireplace, Johnson Art Studio lighting, Saltillo tile floors, hydronic radiant heat, cherrywood built-ins and kitchen cabinets, and a copper range hood. The artistic use of color and materials will take your breath away. French doors from both the dining room and master bedroom open to adjacent patio and expansive backyard that includes BBQ area and mature landscaping. Easy walk to RDM Beach. This storybook property is a one-of-a-kind gem.
