Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a treasured and one of the most significant properties in Carmel's history. Welcome to the Grace MacGowen Cooke House, once the home of sisters and celebrated writers Alice MacGowen and Grace MacGowen Cooke. Built in 1905, this residence is steeped in history and is one of the earliest homes constructed in southwest Carmel. This home became a focal point for Carmel's bohemian crowd like Jack London, George Sterling and a young Sinclair Lewis. Located just one block from Carmel's pristine white sandy beach and Cooke's Cove, this historic property offers timeless character and exceptional coastal living. Many original features exist in the home: the rock fireplace, wonderful inscription on the stairway wall, enclosed sunroom, and leaded windows throughout the house. With four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a breakfast room, an open dining and living area, four fireplaces, garage, and ocean views from the second floor this is truly an unique property.
