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 chef’s kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, a mosaic glass backsplash, a Viking range, farmhouse sink, and kitchen island — a true entertainer’s 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.

  • Itsmandab
    "There are wild animals that walk freely in the area. it's usually really dark at night since there aren't many street lights, so you need a flash light. it's a beautiful, pet friendly area. "
  • Surspa
    "It is the first neighborhood I’ve ever lived in that every neighbor keeps to themselves! No one comes out to say hello—they just scurry into the house, avoid eye contact when smiled at in close proximity, & they peek at anyone outdoors as if they are a zombie looking for your next victim... very peculiar, when FUN is a crime, & silent ghost street is what it feels like to go out for a walk. Eerie"
  • Terrencehack77
    "I drive It’s not burdensome I enjoy driving to work. The traffic is relatively light in the morning "
  • Surspa
    "Carmel Woods is set high enough above sea level that I can see peeks of the ocean at carmel beach. The trees are hundreds of feet TALL, & pruned to be bare, stripped of mud-length branches—prehistoric in appearance. The neighbors are all isolated and hardly social. I have never gotten beyond small talk in the 3 yrs of living here. Pollen is extremely allergenic, even in me, who is not allergic. Quiet street, to a fault. "
  • Lunabluclothing
    "I love the valley it’s always sunny it’s in nature and not too close to town but still not too far away friendly people enough privacy"
  • pat d.
    "I have family who lived in this area. Always beautiful, quiet and perfect for golfers."
