This classic Carmel charmer, known as "The Stone House," was built in 1932 by Russian architect A. Nastrovic, celebrated for his Moscow monuments. Its Carmel stone exterior, mission-tile roof, coved plaster ceilings, vaulted living-room ceiling, and hardwood floors reflect timeless local craftsmanship with Spanish and Mediterranean accents. The remodeled kitchen features marble counters and tile flooring. The spacious main house, 2,780 sq ft, 4 beds and 4 baths, includes the downstairs primary suite and main living areas with one of the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. A detached 550 sq.ft. guest cottage offering a fireplace, kitchenette, and bath, brings the property's total livable square footage to 3,300, 5 bedrooms, and 5 bathrooms. The home, exterior walls, and backyard courtyard are finished with signature Carmel stone, and the basement provides storage or potential wine-cellar use. Located in the Coastal Zone of unincorporated Monterey County, it may be eligible for a short-term/vacation rental permit. Conveniently close to Carmel High, Highway 1, and downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
