Front Door Entrance

Enjoy privacy in this house, set back from Carmel Valley Road on your own acre and built in an enclave of only three other residences occupied by longtime homeowners.

The house is bathed in sunlight and double doors and tall windows provide free-flowing access to all parts of the house for long, leisurely days spent enjoying indoor/outdoor living.

Terrace Steps from Front Deck to Lawn

The large entertainment deck runs across half the length of the house and leads down to the large front lawn through terrace steps. The steps are flanked by newly built planter and flower beds with installed irrigation. The property is adorned by blossoming cherry and plum trees which provide great color and appeal in the spring through early summer. It is ringed by a white wooden fence and a large berm with mature vegetation at the end of the property provides screening and privacy from the road.

View of the Mountains from Deck

This newly built deck is designed for residents to fully enjoy Carmel Valley's year-round perfect weather and the close-up views of the Santa Lucia mountains. A custom-built gazebo, built-in benches with storage, and all-weather drapes make this an outdoor living room perfect for lazy afternoon naps, casual visits with friends, or entertaining at sunset. Just add music and refreshments!

Front Deck at Twilight

Just off the newly built deck is a separate deck for a large hot tub - ideal for the cool, foggy evenings in Carmel Valley. It is conveniently located just outside the master bedroom and enjoys shading and privacy from a mature tree canopy. Perfect for soaking in the quiet nights and gazing at the stars with a glass of wine right before bed!

On cool winter days, enjoy a daytime soak and a relaxing nap outdoors right on the deck...

Master Bedroom At Night

The master bedroom leads out to the deck, a sitting nook, and short access stairs to the hot tub. End each day with a relaxing open-air soak with an elevated, close-up view of the mountains by day and the stars by night.

Entryway - Patio Doors

The patio is surfaced in Monterey cream flagstone, friendly to bare feet and making it an extension of the indoors. Furnished with a comfortable lounge set, outdoor rug, coffee table and a remote-controlled retractable awning, it provides an inviting place to enjoy sunny afternoons in complete privacy.

The outdoor dining table and BBQ allow for easy entertaining with larger groups, and the newly installed heating lamps under the eaves will quickly warm up your guests in the cool evenings. Just plug your ipod dock into the outdoor outlets and experience a garden restaurant setting in your own home.

Carmel Valley's weather offers you the ability to dine al fresco from early spring to mid-December!
