From the Agent: "Recognized worldwide as the Butterfly House. this home has been featured in Architectural Digest, A Century of Style, and Most Beautiful Rooms in the World, among others. The winged icon, having gone through a massive renovation and restoration by acclaimed Los Angeles–based designer Jamie Bush, has been celebrated as a landmark architectural treasure, living art, and as a near perfect example of midcentury architecture."
Set inches from the sea, the Butterfly House is not only one of five oceanfront properties in Carmel; it is also one of the largest, incorporating its own beach and cove.
The home was named after its iconic winged roof, which cantilevers over the front deck that overlooks the Monterey Peninsula. Floor-to-ceiling windows span the facade.
Ocean views continue in the kitchen, set above the main living and dining areas. Sliding glass doors open the home up to the interior courtyard, complete with a large pool.
Spread across nearly 4,000 square feet, the property comes with three bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths. The primary bathroom is lined with marble and has a large soaking tub.
"Set amidst an ever-changing display of marine life, the Butterfly House’s unique connection to nature brings joy, perspective, and happiness to all who experience it," notes the agent.
The Butterfly House, located at 26320 Scenic Road in Carmel, California, is currently listed for $40,000,000 by Shelly Mitchell Lynch of Carmel Realty Company.
