1010 Broncho Road, Pebble Beach

Entry   Living Room   Backyard

Last week my property pick was a gorgeous 1927 Spanish Mediterranean that had been meticulously restored. This week, I am featuring another classic Spanish colonial that needs a buyer with vision, patience and a little extra pocket change to create what could be a Pebble Beach classic. The home has been remodeled and updated a bit over the years and the finishes need to be brought together. In the ‘70s the backyard patio was enclosed to create an open dining and living arrangement. Then in the ‘90’s, a spacious master suite was added above the garage that captures some surprising ocean views. With 3,828sf of living space and covering 42% of the lot, the property's size has been grandfathered in. (The maximum lot coverage in Pebble Beach is 35%.) Desirably located across the street from MPCC’s shore course, this would be a fabulous home to restore.

To comply with this settlement, the MLS removed all offers of buyer’s agent compensation as of Tuesday, August 13th.

It was the quintessential COVID sale.

I had been referred to potential buyers who were relocating to Carmel from Colorado. They were the type of buyers that could be successful in the crazy days of COVID. Decisive, ready and able. It was March, 2021 and a gorgeous four bedroom home on one of my favorite streets in Carmel Valley had just hit the market.
