Palou 2 SW of 2nd Avenue

This charming, classic cottage by the sea is a much-loved nest filled with warm and inviting spaces (hence, the name The Nest). Its size and layout present a full range of possibilities for living, working, and entertaining. The family, living, dining, and kitchen areas share a Belgian-inspired interior with vintage wood light fixtures. The renovated kitchen is warmed by stone walls with floating shelves and expansive French oak cabinetry throughout. More charm is added by the La Cornue stove which is topped by a custom-made ventilation unit. Remarkable for Carmel, there are also two functioning fireplaces in the home which make for cozy gathering areas. The living room has built-in cabinetry and shelving on either side of the fireplace. The master bedroom has a window seat with a garden view and opens to a porch which is shared with the family room. The renovated master bath has built-in French oak cabinetry and a soaking tub, along with a private shower and toilet area.
