Il Rifugio Del Carmelo

Set on a peaceful corner of Carmel, just a couple blocks South of Ocean Avenue, this beautifully reimagined Craftsman offers the charm of a classic Carmel cottage with modern comforts and almost 2,000 sq ft. Completely rebuilt in 2016 by Alan Lehman, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence sits on a sunny, oversized and elevated corner lot surrounded by lovely gardens. Inside, vaulted beamed ceilings, European oak floors, skylights, and thoughtful finishes give the home a warmth and character that feels distinctly Carmel. The large bright kitchen opens to the living and dining areas, with French doors leading to a private stone patio and outdoor fireplace, perfect for evenings with friends after a day at Carmel beach. A main level primary suite and flexible guest rooms offer plenty of space for family and visitors. Lutron lighting and a Zehnder whole-house ventilation system are unseen luxuries supporting comfort. Just a short stroll from downtown shops and restaurants, Mission Trail Park, and the historic Forest Theater, this is a wonderful place to enjoy the best of Carmel living.
