A family compound like no other. Two very special MJ Murphy cottages on one large lot in a prime location; set behind privacy gates between the ocean and town. Completely redone in 2004 to preserve their original charm, including single wall construction. Between the windows, the old Carmel stone wood burning fireplaces and the open beamed ceilings, these cottages stir emotion. The grounds are stunning and shared yet easily separated if desired. Each has lovely Carmel stone patios, grassy yards, gorgeous old oak trees and mature landscape. You can park two cars on property, plus there is a driveway and a two car garage. Great for co-ownership with a partner or perhaps 30 day vacation rentals. Lots of water credits here. Both homes have sweet back porches and lower level laundry rooms. Both of these cottages are currently used/live as three bedrooms and two bathrooms although county records reflect four beds and two+ baths in each house. This compound has only transferred once in 55 years.
