Architect Charles Sumner Greene (of Greene and Greene in Southern California) moved his family to Carmel in 1916 and started work on his studio in 1923 using brick from a demolished PG hotel.






Frank Lloyd Wright House




The famous architect designed both the house, built in 1948 of Carmel chalkrock, and the furniture.  It sits on the edge of the beach with the Pacific as a front yard.





Cozy Oaks



Built in 1932, the present owners have added new cabinets, lots of colorful paint on the exterior and interior walls, and their many collections.  They have great old posters on the walls and an amazing collection of perfume bottles.




Paradise Found



This new home (2006) is built in the traditional Craftsman style.  With a top of the line kitchen, French doors leading to a flagstone patio, and upper level master suite, this home has it all.



Villa Scimmia



A 1926 M.J. Murphy house that occupies a double lot, Villa Scimmia (Italian for Monkey House) presents a fascinating example of the imaginative renovation of an historic property.
