The Iconic Butterfly House in Carmel-by-the-Sea Just Sold for $29 Million
Perhaps the most famous home in Carmel-by-the-Sea, The Butterfly House, just sold for $29 million, according to a press release from Coldwell Banker Real Estate, the firm that represented the buyers. Set atop a rocky coastline with angular wings jutting into the sky above, the 1951 home was designed by Frank Wynkoop, the home’s original owner, and remains a pristine example of midcentury modernism. “The Butterfly House is one of the most notable homes along California’s Central Coast,” Tim Allen, of the namesake properties team at Coldwell Banker Realty, says. According to the property’s listing page, it was put on the market for $40 million (furnished) in August of 2022.
