A property in the picturesque Carmel Highlands coastal community, an enclave popular with celebrities, is for sale for $8.8 million.
This past summer, Brad Pitt paid $40 million for a home in the secluded area overlooking the Pacific. Other previous residents include Betty White, “Little Mermaid” composer Alan Silvestri, and others. A nearby home was also featured in the Sharon Stone thriller “Basic Instinct.”
The previous owner of the midcentury modern-style home was Anthony Frank, the late U.S. Postmaster General and former CEO of First Nationwide Bank. The property has a coveted design built on rocks that extends over the Pacific. And it is one of few homes in the area that has a stairway that leads to a hidden beach. Today, new buildings are not allowed so close to the water to preserve the area’s natural beauty.
So you can count on panoramic views of dramatic sunsets in the 2,466-square-foot home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Other special features include a stone fireplace, a hand-carved front door, a built-in bar and a detached guest studio with private entrance.
The Weathers Gannaway Team with Compass are the listing agents.
