Classic film start actress Kim Novak lists Carmel, California home for $12.5 million according to toptenrealestatedeals.com. Known for her starring roles in the award-winning films Picnic, Strangers When We Meet, Pal Joey, and her twin roles in Vertigo, Kim chose a shorter film career.
Preferring a quiet lifestyle, in 1961 Kim chose a home far away from Hollywood on an outcropping of rock in Carmel, California where she lived until 1973.
One of California’s most interesting homes, the main and guest homes, with two bedrooms and 2,070 square feet, is set on two acres of rocky coastline dramatically perched over the ocean waves with unobstructed views to the horizon.
The home has several roof levels, designed as a cozy escape with wood-beamed ceilings, slate floor, wood-burning fireplace, and ceiling-to-floor walls of glass to capture the rock-and-water views.
