Alain Pinel Realtors’ Carmel Listing a Winner In HGTV’s Ultimate House Hunt Contest
SARATOGA, Calif. (PRWEB) July 26, 2017 -- An Alain Pinel Realtors’ (APR) listing located in the heart of the Golden Rectangle of Carmel was named a winner in the 2017 HGTV Ultimate House Hunt. Represented by Greg Albertson in APR’s Carmel office, the 1,566-square-foot custom cottage received the most votes among all finalists, winning in the contest’s Living Large in Small Spaces category. The HGTV Ultimate House Hunt, a month-long online contest on HGTV.com, received 1.1 million votes across a range of categories involving properties around the globe.
The Carmel Cottage has a wide range of distinctive architectural features, including a Knotty Alder arched front door, a Carmel flagstone front patio and stone fireplace. The home includes three bedrooms and two baths, with a roomy master suite that includes a gas insert fireplace. The cottage floors are engineered distressed Southern Maple Plank wood, and the vaulted wood-beam ceilings provide a spacious feel to the home.
“Carmel Cottage is a one-of-a-kind home that, as the contest category suggests, provides the opportunity to live large in a cozy, right-sized space,” noted Albertson. “We’ve already seen a great deal of interest in the few days since the contest win was announced, and the residents of Carmel themselves couldn’t be prouder to have their town recognized in this way.”
In addition to the Living Large in Small Spaces category, winning homes were also selected in the following categories: Curb Appeal, Great Estates, International Homes, Kitchen + Dining, Modern Masterpieces and Outdoor Retreat.
