Two Houses on Carmel Point

I spent a few days down the coast a couple weekends back, during that time I did some morning hiking through the streets and around the perimeter of Carmel Point. At the outermost edge of the Point, on Scenic Drive right in the middle of Carmel Bay, these two houses face out to the Pacific, sitting perched on low cliffs at opposite ends of a curved stretch of rocky beach.

Both houses have been here since I was a kid, at least 40+ years ― and I always knew they were baller status residences ― but I'd never really seen them in this light.
