This house was built in 1914, pre-dating the so-called fairy-tale architecture that arose in the late 1920s. But the cottage has many of Carmel's earlier hallmarks, such as old wooden ceiling beams, board-and-batten walls, and a roofline that's set in waves, mimicking the ocean. And there is this wonderful little wine cellar down a steep, narrow staircase, a discovery that has its own brand of kismet. (Coastal Living)
