While Silicon Valley types burn through real estate apps searching for authentic character, you’ve stumbled onto what master builder Comstock actually meant by craftsmanship. This historic home parks you close enough to Carmel’s action without the tourist madness, where thick adobe walls handle temperature control better than any smart home system; cool nights, warm days, and solar panels laughing at electricity bills. The kitchen runs the show because pretending people gather anywhere else is delusional. Top of the line appliances plus new countertops create a command center for everything from coffee ceremonies to wine-fueled dinner parties that migrate naturally into the flowing living spaces. Your large lot delivers privacy that makes neighbors jealous, with a back ravine providing natural separation that beats any fence HOA ever approved. Mission trails beckon for scenic strolls, while Barnyard and Crossroads eliminate any excuse for bad takeout. The wood stove handles Carmel’s moody fog nights, and an outdoor space that actually accommodates real entertaining. Adobe walls built this to outlast trends and tourists. You’re buying into history that knew Carmel’s magic before everyone else figured it out.
