This architecturally significant home known as "The Owl House" was the only house in Carmel-by-the-Sea designed by renowned architect, Mickey Muennig, offering a terrific downtown location with Muennig's unmistakable Big Sur style. The nautilus-influenced redwood structure bears elements of his emergent style that can be seen in his work that followed, including Post Ranch Inn. The circular windows, unique shaped doorways, and meticulous handmade detailing throughout the interior is an impressive work of art from every angle. The Owl House was recently acquired by acclaimed landscape architect Bernard Trainor of Ground Studio Landscape Architects and has undergone an extensive restoration. Features include 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, ~1,700 SqFt of living space, a 450 SqFt garage, and multiple expansive decks overlooking Pescadero Canyon. With world-class beaches, restaurants, and shopping closeby, The Owl House offers a secluded and artistic feel only "the man who built Big Sur" could create.
