Property Description

Tucked behind a private gated entry framed by hand-laid Santa Lucia stone in sought-after Carmel, this beautifully upgraded home offers a rare blend of timeless craftsmanship, refined comfort, and exceptional versatility. Nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac on Oak Place ? just steps from Carmel High School, minutes from Carmel Beach, and the heart of Carmel-by-the-Sea ? the setting offers exceptional privacy with no through traffic. Designed as a true forever home by a longtime licensed civil engineer and enhanced with the guidance of an interior designer, the property reflects thoughtful planning, quality construction, and enduring attention to detail throughout. Soaring tray ceilings and abundant natural light from skylight tube systems create a bright, open, and inviting interior. Rich finishes include Jerusalem stone flooring, solid oak floors, and two stunning hand-crafted mosaic inlays ? one at the entry and one in the hallway bathroom. The remodeled chefs kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, a mosaic glass backsplash, a Viking range, farmhouse sink, and kitchen island ? a true entertainers dream. The spacious primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a walk-in closet and a breathtaking spa-inspired bath complete with glass-tiled walls, a skylight, stand-alone soaking tub, steam shower, and gas fireplace. The generous living room centers around a classic wood-burning fireplace with gas insert. Additional highlights include heated flooring in the hallway bathroom, newer Sierra Pacific sliding doors throughout, and fully insulated walls, floors, and ceilings for year-round comfort. Outdoor living is equally impressive ? a gas fireplace anchors the main patio alongside a built-in BBQ, multiple brick entertaining zones, mature succulent gardens, and indoor/outdoor speakers. A fully permitted cedar shake roof installed in 2020 with a transferable 10-year labor warranty provides exceptional peace of mind. Adding rare flexibility, the home includes a private studio-style guest suite with its own exterior entrance, kitchenette, and dedicated bathroom access ? ideal for extended family, guests, or a creative retreat. Buyer to verify permits and uses with County of Monterey. Gated motor court with parking for 6+ vehicles and a one-car garage ? space rarely found in Carmel.
