Mid-century redwood home on a Carmel hillside with views, sunlit interiors, and terraced gardens. Main level offers 2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths; below, a separate permitted studio with 1 bath and private entrance, minutes from Carmel-by-the-Sea beaches, dining, and trails. Set among terraced gardens and soft coastal light, this distinctive mid-century home captures the essence of Carmel's creative landscape. Built in the mid 1960s from locally sourced redwood, its design was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian principles. Clerestory and intentionally symmetrical windows plus tall glass doors frame the surrounding landscape as living art. The main level offers about 1,528 sq ft of airy living space with decks overlooking colorful, seasonally blooming gardens. Below, the permitted studio's flexible 510 sq ft layout with full bathroom makes an ideal guest suite, office, or artistic retreat. Lovingly cared for by one family since new, the property blends architecture, nature, and creative spirit in an exceptional location near white sand beaches.
