Bay View House

Built in 1938 as a modest beach cottage, expansions over the years have created a private, walled and gated residence with a roof top deck with spectacular 360 degree views of Carmel and across Carmel Bay to Pebble Beach.

Built in 1955, this extensively renovated and landscaped home merges contemporary beach house style with peaceful indoor and outdoor living space.



B-by-the-Sea


Built in 1936, this carefully remodeled Carmel Cottage blends outstanding craftsmanship with a comfortable floor plan.



Comstock Cottage




When Hugh Comstock applied for a permit in 1927 to build an architect’s studio next to his home (“Ober’s”), he estimated that the building cost would be $1,200 ($15,00 today).  In the 1930’s, he added more rooms for his architect’s office space rather than a living area.
