Overview
"Misty House", long celebrated as an artist's haven, is defined as much by its unique history as it is by its panoramic white water views. It was once the home of Johnny Adams, a local disc jockey whose deep connection to the world of jazz music ultimately inspired Clint Eastwood's first directorial project, Play Misty for Me. Perched on a Carmel Highlands hilltop overlooking the Pacific, this mid-century modern residence is an architectural marvel. In 2016, Studio Carver Architects remodeled it down to the studs, creating an inviting open layout with grand 16ft ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. The main level features two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the kitchen and great room connecting to a wrap-around deck high above the bay showcasing incredible views to Point Lobos and south toward Big Sur. The lower level has a separate entrance, making it a perfect third bedroom for guests, a home office, or a studio complete with a darkroom for traditional photography. The property boasts excellent infrastructure, including owned solar, air conditioning, and a robust driveway built to withstand the elements of Highlands living. This is truly a slice of Big Sur with the convenience of Carmel just 10 minutes to town.
