A: No, the house is not safely walkable to downtown. It is only a 3 to 5 minute drive though!
...
Q: What is the coffee situation?

...
Q: Is the backyard fully enclosed?
A: It is not (yet!) fully enclosed. We are about 90% of the way there. The issue is that we are in a Design Control District and are waiting on Monterey County to give us the green light to finish the project.

Q: Can I bring the kiddos?

A: No, most days highway noise cannot be heard. There are some very rare exceptions, but day-to-day traffic is generally not audible inside the house.

A: No, thankfully it is not within view. All you will see is the lovely Carmel forest, the ocean, the Carmel Valley hills, and Point Lobos in the distance.
...
Q: How many cars can we bring?
A: Our driveway can accommodate up to 6 sedans. (Or, it could fit 2 large trucks or Sprinter vans + 2 sedans.) We request that you fit *all* cars in our driveway, out of respect to our neighbors.
...
Q: Is the garage available?
A: Yes it is upon special request, with advance notice.
...
Q: Do you have a BBQ?
