Carmel’s Hidden Secret ~ #Carmellifestyle#aprcarmel

Shhhh . . . .  I’m about to whisper a secret to you.  It’s Carmel’s hidden secret.

whispering

While I was holding open one of my listings in Carmel Woods a number of years ago, a neighbor stopped in and whispered to me, “Carmel Woods is our hidden secret!”  After selling a number of homes in Carmel Woods over the years,  I have to agree.  Removed from the tourist frenzy of Carmel-By-The-Sea, and just a few blocks from town, this peaceful neighborhood is a treasure.  Residents meander through their winding wooded streets taking their daily constitutional waving to their neighbors as they go by.  Home owners “in the woods” enjoy a rare intimacy with their fellow residents unknown in some of the other areas of Carmel.

Isn’t it gorgeous?  Built in 2005 it features amazing amenities and ocean views.  And . . . . the kitchen is to die for!

Incredible gourmet kitchen.

Carmel Woods is located just north of the village of Carmel and includes many lovely homes situated on forested lots – many having ocean views.  Good values are to be had by the savvy buyer since these homes would sell for more if they were located in Carmel-by-the-Sea — particularly if they were situated in the “Golden Rectangle” south of Ocean Avenue where so many buyers go shopping.

Each morning when I open my eyes I say to myself: I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today.  I can choose which it shall be.  Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn’t arrived yet.  I have just one day, today, and I’m going to be happy in it.
