Prime location in Carmel Valley on the end of a cul-de-sac, walking distance to award winning Ocean Air Elementary, the Ocean Air park & recreation area, shopping, dining, grocery, fitness, and lots of walking/biking trails nearby to keep the family active. This home has the feel of an Italian Villa with beautiful gardens, olive trees, lush green plants, & flowering vines will lead you to the enclosed entry courtyard with slate stone walkways, a vine-covered main entry, and tranquil seating area.
From the interior courtyard, you may enter the home in four ways- the main front door, french double doors leading to an office, french double doors to the dining room, or an outdoor staircase leading to the second level bedrooms. Imagine the possibilities for entertaining, having guests, or private access for extended family! The first floor offers a sprawling, open floor plan with a great-room concept of family room, dining room, and kitchen all flowing together. The chef’s kitchen is an entertainer’s delight with top of the line stainless steel appliances including a 6-burner gas range, tons of beautiful wood cabinetry and large center island with sink and endless counter space. The formal living room has a beautiful stone mantel fireplace with gas ignition ready for wood-burning or ceramic logs. There is one office on the main level with entry to the front courtyard and a second office or en suite guest room next to the garage entry. Seller spared no expense on flooring with spending approximately $150,000 to upgrade to fossilized Italian stone tile flooring throughout and wood floors. The curving wood and wrought-iron staircase leads to a second level with the Master Suite, and 4 additional bedrooms. The Master features a fireplace, dual vanities, soaking tub and separate travertine tile shower. There is also a third level loft that makes a perfect space for a game room, artist studio, guest room, child’s play area, or ….whatever you want to make it! The home itself is enough to make you fall in love, but the location takes it to the next level. Please note the seller added gas lines in backyard for easy addition of a fireplace and outdoor kitchen.
