Cheerful country home in Carmel Valley Village with room to grow, upside potential, and Carmel schools! Well-sited up off the road on almost a half acre of mainly usable land, this 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom home with optional 4th bedroom/guest suite is optimal for multi-generational living and gives you the opportunity to enjoy it now and then update later. The open concept main living area is the heart and center of the home and has a vaulted ceiling, skylights, wood-burning stove, hardwood floor, and large glass sliding doors to the backyard and large front garden deck. The master suite is to the southerly side of house as is the family room and both have doors to the outside. Two more bedrooms and a hall bath are on the northerly side. At the ground-level, the artist studio and separate workshop with bathroom could possibly be expanded & connected into one space for a guest unit. Includes a 2 car garage plus additional space for oversized vehicles. Lovely semi-rural setting!
