Actress Kim Novak starred in iconic films such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo and Picnic alongside William Holden. Even as a Hollywood starlet well beyond the 1950s, Novak preferred a more relaxed lifestyle, opting to live in Carmel, California from 1961 to 1973. The home is currently listed for $12.5 million with Jonathan Spencer of Jonathan Spencer Properties, Carmel.
With 2,070 square feet of living space set on two acres of dramatic rocky coastline, this home features a main house and a guest house. There are several outdoor balconies offering idyllic views of the ocean waves. The aesthetic in the main house is more modern with sleek design elements coupled with a welcoming ambiance. The guest house boasts a cozier vibe with wood-beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows capturing the gorgeous waterfront views.
