Beautifully maintained corner-unit townhome in a sought-after Carmel community, offering 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 1,580 square feet of living space, and a 2-car garage. This home is truly turnkey, with every update thoughtfully considered. Think soft-close shaker kitchen cabinets, custom California Closet systems in every bedroom, wood floors on main level, and newer Pella windows and sliders (2021) with great energy efficiency and sound insulation. 2026 improvements include fresh interior paint throughout, new carpeting on second level, refreshed bathrooms, all new interior doors, and a new water heater. Multiple spaces make this home ideal for enjoying and entertaining. These include a formal dining room and a living room that flows into the enclosed deck for additional gathering space. Barn and pocket doors give the dining room the flexibility to transform into a home office, game room, or creative studio. With views of the greenbelt, the upstairs balcony is a peaceful retreat. The community offers a pool, spa, sauna, and tennis courts, with easy access to Crossroads Carmel Shopping Center, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Big Sur, and all the Monterey Peninsula has to offer. Whether laying down roots or seeking a lock-and-leave second home, this exquisitely maintained home fits the bill.
