25560 Shafter Way in Carmel

This remarkable 1920s Carmel estate in coveted Hatton Fields is on the market for the first time in 55 years. The jewel of a home was the prior residence of California Senator Edward Tickle, whose name is probably more famous for his previous homesite, now the Tickle Pink Inn. Set back on a park-like acre with gated entry, the oak-tree lined approach makes for an impressive arrival. Step out into gardens along the Carmel stone pathway to a handcrafted wood door that graces the entry to the home. The nuanced details of coved ceilings, tiled floors and arched doorways speak to the original craftsmanship. Hardwood floors are illuminated by windows and skylights that allow sunlight to pour in. For cozy settings, 3 fireplaces are set throughout the main 4-bedroom 3.5 bath 3,732 sq ft home with 2-car garage. The 491 sq ft guesthouse also features a fireplace and 6+ car garage. Surrounding the home are the treasured grounds where the new owner can proudly stroll as the estate's next steward.
