Welcome to your Carmel Valley oasis; this home has it all, for everyday living, entertaining, and stay-cations alike. Discover sophistication and seamless functionality in this extensively updated home, perfectly situated on a rare 16,922 sq ft lot at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac. As you approach, the welcoming elegance of double custom wood and glass front doors invites you inside. The spacious open-plan living area unfolds before you, where a one-of-a-kind custom, expanded and redesigned kitchen takes center stage. It features high-end Thermador appliances, including professional ovens, range, built-in refrigerator, and warming drawer, all set against custom cabinetry reminiscent of a grand French chateau. The kitchen was designed for multi-chef simultaneous use, with two sink/prep zones, two oven zones, and an oversized island with room for additional family members or guests. The seamless flow from the kitchen through the living areas is enhanced by hardwood floors and La Cantina doors, which open to a meticulously designed backyard surrounded by towering palm trees and the ample surrounding hillsides. Embrace the quintessential Southern California lifestyle with lazy days by the solar-heated pool, relax in the spa, or gather around the fire pit. A casual outdoor area with a built-in barbecue and refrigerator makes it perfect for hosting friends and family in a stunning setting. Landscape features include low maintenance hardscape backyard, maintenance-free turf areas in the front yard, and a bonus fenced grassy yard that is a perfect play spot for kids/pets and includes lemon and lime trees. The home’s thoughtful layout includes a first-floor bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a guest half-bathroom, ideal for accommodating guests or multi-generational living. Upstairs, tranquility continues with four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a dedicated office equipped with a built-in desk, cabinets, and glass French doors for privacy. This eco-friendly home is equipped with a comprehensive owned solar system for both electricity and pool, covering the home’s electricity requirements. While the need to run air conditioning is minimized by the energy-efficient whole house fan, the home also brings efficiency with its newer Nest-controlled dual zone HVAC/furnace systems. This gorgeous home represents a perfect blend of luxury, practicality, and Southern California charm, designed for those who appreciate a life of elegance and leisure.
