Lopez Ave 5 NW of 4th, Carmel, CA 93923
Oceanview Architectural Gem in Carmel
$5,900,000

 

Set on a quiet cul-de-sac in Northwest Carmel, this iconic 1962 residence designed by Henry Hill and featured in Progressive Architecture is a striking expression of Bay Area Modernism. Strong lines, angled windows, and signature geometric forms define the home, highlighted by a distinctive circular window and curated stained glass elements. A designated historic home and Mills Act recipient offering significant property tax savings, it was thoughtfully remodeled in 2023 with careful attention to its original design.

 

The ~2,370 sq ft residence includes 4 bedrooms and 3 baths, with ramp access to the main level. The cathedral living room, with ocean views and an original Carmel stone fireplace, opens to a heated terrace with a gas firepit. The chef’s kitchen is outfitted with premium appliances and a cozy breakfast nook. Additional highlights include a family room with built-in seating, laundry/storage room, handcrafted railings, custom-built cabinetry, radiant-heated European white oak floors, and thoughtful details throughout.

 

The fenced yard is beautifully landscaped, while solar panels, a battery wall, and a Level 2 EV charger enhance efficiency. The home is just moments from downtown’s shops and restaurants, with easy access to Carmel Beach via the scenic Jane Powers walkway.
