Shhhh . . . . I’m about to whisper a secret to you. It’s Carmel’s hidden secret.
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.
This weekend I’ll be holding open this lovely three bedroom, two bath 2,254 SF home located at 24457 San Juan Road in Carmel Woods. Open House 1:00 – 4:00pm Saturday and Sunday May 7&8.
Isn’t it gorgeous? Built in 2005 it features amazing amenities and ocean views. And . . . . the kitchen is to die for!
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.
Come by my Open House this weekend
24457 San Juan Road, Carmel, CA
May 7th and 8th from 1:00 – 4:00pm
or give me a call for more information about this home or other properties on the Monterey Peninsula!

One of the most important things you can do to improve the value of your home is to remodel your kitchen. How do you decide how to start? First look at the many kitchen design ideas to find out what appeals to you and if you are planning to sell you’ll want to also consider what will appeal to most buyers.
There should be a common theme throughout your home so it all flows and looks like it belongs together. Does your home have a cottage feel or is it traditional or contemporary?
Now plan the layout of your kitchen. Picture yourself cooking a meal in the kitchen and be sure you place the range, the prep area, and the refrigerator so it will be convenient to create that fantastic meal!
What type of materials will you use? Butcher block counters or maybe granite, quartz, concrete or even carrara marble.
Other decisions to make . . . storage, lighting, appliances, and even the kitchen sink! Good luck! Set a budget before you begin and have fun creating a special place in your home.
As I sit in our #Alain Pinel Realtors office on the corner of Dolores and Ocean I have many visitors come by and ask . . . can you still buy a little vacation cottage in Carmel for #under a million? I answer, “Yes, but there are not a lot of them at any given time.” You have to watch for them as they come up and act quickly – particularly if it is a charming little cottage. If this is your goal, let’s talk and plan.
Right now there are 6 homes on the market in Carmel on the west side of the highway (ocean side) which is where many people want to be for a vacation home.
Sometimes these homes are not very large . . . but to have a place to lay your head at night, does it really need to be?
If you’re looking for that special little vacation home under a million, give me a call and we’ll work out a strategy to get you just what you want. Call me, Susan Clark 831-320-6801.
