26282 Atherton Drive

Space, privacy, breathtaking views, move-in-ready and a short stroll to the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Perched on a private hill on half an acre, this beautifully remodeled home has panoramic views over the coastal hills, with peek-a-boo glimpse of Carmel River Beach. The gourmet kitchen is built for gathering friends and family around the island while the cook works their magic under a vaulted open-beam ceiling, with hardwood floors and Thermador and Bosch appliances; picture windows and French doors open to verandas and the view. Two gas fireplaces and a spa-inspired bath with a Porcelanosa tub. Gigabit internet powers a home office in a world of your own, with a grand oak out the window - plus Tesla solar&Powerwall, whole-house water filtration, and native, water-friendly Carmel landscaping. Four bedrooms and half an acre give a family room to grow - in a town safe and close enough to bike to the beach and stroll to dinner, with Mission Trail at the door and the Carmel Mission across the street. Shopping, restaurants, and galleries minutes away; Highway 1 keeps the Bay Area within reach. See it before it's gone: book your private tour today.
