Vacation Living Full-Time! Carmel, CA ~Open House Sun 11/27
Open House Sunday 11/27 1:00 – 4:00pm
Offered at $2,199,000
26335 Rio Avenue, Carmel on Carmel Point
Located on the “Jewel” known as Carmel Point, 26335 Rio Avenue is situated on a quiet block that runs parallel to Carmelo between 15th & 16th Avenue. What’s so terrific about this location? It’s by the beach! It’s just a couple blocks from Carmel River State Beach . . .
yet is not in the middle of the “beach going” crowds. The owners loved to walk to town for breakfast and then walk along Scenic taking in the amazing views. Cocktail hour? Mosey over to the Mission Ranch, have a drink, and look out at the lagoon. You might even have a “Clint” sighting!
But what about the house itself? Ok, you’ll be happy to know this is one of the most amazing homes on the Point (as in Carmel Point).
Not only architecturally stunning from the curb, the 3 bedroom, two bath residence provides an easy living lifestyle with superior features and finishes. You say you love to cook and entertain?
Voila! An amazing gourmet kitchen created by Al Saroyan, Carmel’s master builder complete with a pasta faucet on the gas range!
Your guests will enjoy gathering around the kitchen and adjacent living room. Vaulted ceilings, fireplace, surround sound, hickory pecan hand planed floors, plaster finished walls, and lots more!
Romance is in the air for intimate dining in this lovely dining room with a gas fireplace. What a perfect place to serve that gourmet meal to your family and friends or the one you love.
For those that crave having a master suite on the main level – you are in luck again!! This home actually has two master suites one on the main level . . .
And one upstairs with a balcony . . .
and a fabulous master bath with a view of the mountains. Can’t you just imagine taking a nice soak in that jacuzzi tub and enjoying the view?
Where’s the bubble bath!!!
Topped off with an European inspired outdoor patio with gas fireplace . . .
Yes, this home has it all so what are you waiting for???? Come by and see it today or call me for a private showing. I’d love to meet you and share my love for Carmel.

I’m So Excited! Stop the Car To See the Quintessential Carmel Cottage
Open House 26005 Junipero Avenue, Carmel CA
Open Saturday 11/5 & Sunday 11/6
1:00 – 4:00 pm Offered at $1,998,000
I”m so excited to hold this amazing 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath 1,930 SF home open for OPEN HOUSE! For me this is the ideal Carmel home.
It’s very “Carmel” yet it’s almost 2000 SF. It’s like a “cottage” but it’s very much a “spacious home” with room for a formal dining area, fire places, high ceilings, skylights, and a huge (by Carmel standards) master suite.
And for those that love to entertain and test out their culinary chops, the remodeled kitchen won’t disappoint!
And no, the chef shouldn’t be stuck in the kitchen away from the party – this open floor plan allows everyone to enjoy the evening.
Doug Mack, one of our well-known builders, gutted and expanded this residence in 1994. In 2002 the owners then made some additional upgrades by remodeling the kitchen and baths and adding hardwood floors to many of the rooms.
For the man of the house there is an over-sized garage and everyone will enjoy the lovely gardens and patio.
I’m really looking forward to my Open Houses here this weekend . . . I hope you’ll come by to see this lovely home and chat about Carmel real estate. Of course, the best part is I’ll get to see Mikey again!
Carmel’s Favorite Ex-Mayor Rides Again! ~ Carmel-by-the-Sea Centennial Parade
Clint Eastwood is everyone’s favorite mayor of Carmel – no offense to our current mayor, but hey, he’s Clint! When Clint was elected mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea in 1986, he put Carmel on the national map – for those who already didn’t know about our charming village that just turned 100 years old yesterday!
So who else would Carmel invite to be the Grand Marshal of the Carmel Centennial parade. Well, Clint of course!
The whole town turned out to take part in this fabulous community event. There were amazing floats, marching bands, school groups, the girl scouts, theater groups, musicians, dancers, and dignitaries.
Here’s Clint in the staging area ready to lead the parade! The Sunset Center, our center of performing arts, offered this lovely float.
Carmel Plaza is Carmel-by-the-Sea’s only shopping center featuring many restaurants and boutiques. You can also find the Carmel Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center there with answers to all your Carmel questions. They proudly entered this lovely float below.
The most fun was to see all of the community organizations turned out in their 1916 best! Since I was in the parade, these photos are of everyone getting organized in the parade staging area.
I loved watching these very well organized and adorable kids from the Carmel River Elementary School.
North Monterey County High School sent a fabulous marching band.
It is quite an amazing thing to be in a parade and quite a thrill. Usually I am watching on the sidelines like these folks.
I’m not sure who had more fun those marching . . .
or those watching. In any case, it was a fun-filled day.
Let’s not forget that Carmel was settled by artists, poets, actors, and bohemians so they were also well represented.
Those of us in the parade got a kick out of comparing our costumes.
The parade ended with a lovely lunch at the Sunset Center and then cake (in the shape of our office) at our Alain Pinel Realtors office on Junipero between 5th & 6th.
I hope everyone enjoyed this fun day! If you weren’t able to be there, I hope these photos will give you a little taste.
After being in real estate for many years, I find every client has their own story,. So whether you’re living in 1916 . . . or 2016, let’s find YOUR happy ending!
