539 Paseo Venadis, Carmel

Exterior   Kitchen   Living Room

Jacks Peak is one of my all time favorite Carmel locations. I’m biased as I grew up in Jacks Peak. It’s sunny, convenient and private, with lot sizes of at least 5 acres. Right now there are 6 homes for sale on 5 to 20 acre sites ranging in price from $2.695M to $9.995M. Owners in Jacks Peak tend to make these their forever homes. 539 Paseo Venadis is a property I have admired for years. And it’s better than ever after updates the current owners have completed. It went on the market yesterday as the owners are moving to New York. The home has a modern farmhouse feel with clean lines, single level living, a stunning guesthouse and a resort like backyard. I’d love to show you why I love Jacks Peak and this house!

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. I called my clients and the husband literally hoped on a flight the very next morning. He boarded a plane with only a cup of coffee in ...
