Highlands Village in Carmel Valley: need advice!

[Scarlett]

Congratulations CVmom! I didn’t know that those existed either. Is it a 2 or 3 bdr?

I have to agree with tmb.
So far the SFHs we’ve seen in the 600~650K range are not that big (~1700-sqft) and once you want something over 1900-sqft the price jumps to 700Ks. The cheaper one are usually the older construction with the older style of floorplan.

We like open floor plan with kitchen very open to the living/dining area (we don’t care for having formal dining/living rooms) and seriously you just don’t get that when you buy a older small SFHs in CV. But again you do get a small patio/yard (very small).

I’m glad that CVmom likes what they found. Howeverm our condo/townhome in 4S ranch is currently 1450-sqft and we have no plan to buy something smaller than 1800-sqft.

Hopefully we find something though!

It’s a personal preference. I am totally dislike kitchens open to the living/family area. It stinks up the house, especially if it’s a 2 story one. Plus I hate for my guests to see us cooking. unfortunately I haven’t seen one to NOT be like that until I saw one in Montemar which I really fell in love with. I am actually glad to hear that smaller ones – which is what I am looking for – have separated kitchens. I haven’t looked that much in CV, except at small towhnouses.
