4 N/e 8th Casanova St, Carmel By The Sea, CA 93921

Story Book Cottage, or Story Pole Cottage? The choice is yours. This 1930's 1 bdrm,1 bth Hugh Comstock Cottage is the definition of cute, quaint, and quintessential Carmel. Remodeled by his firm in the 50s, and updated again 1987, and lovingly cared for over the past 20 years by the current owners, 1.5 blocks from Ocean Ave., and just 4 blocks to the beach, this home is perfectly situated in the heart of the Golden Rectangle. There is the Golden Rectangle and then there is the heart of the Golden Rectangle, and this location is it. Sweet, small "looking glass' peeks of the ocean through Tolkien like magical Oaks, a fairy tale front courtyard, and a private rear yard garden under another oak, a perfect spot for a cup of tea and a good read. Story Pole Cottage? Yes, the story poles are up! This home comes with a complete set of plans for a 1bdrm 1bth addition created by award winning Peninsula architect Eric Miller Associates. Approved by the Planning Comm'n on April 10, we await only the final City review before being permit ready. A time savings of 1.5 years of plan process and frustration, and $$$$ in architectural, engineering, mechanical, and city fees. The roof, heater, ducting, and tankless hot water all replaced in 2020-2021. Exterior was repainted in 2021.
