ABOUT
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.

The Carmel and Pebble Beach luxury markets remain resilient in 2025. Inventory is limited, particularly in walkable neighborhoods and oceanfront properties, keeping demand high. Median prices in Carmel-by-the-Sea have surpassed $3.5M, while Pebble Beach remains a global luxury destination with estates trading well above $10M. Buyers seeking value are increasingly turning to Pacific Grove and Monterey, while Carmel Valley appeals to those desiring larger lots and sunnier climates.
