The gentle sound of falling water marks your arrival at this freestanding Carmel Valley Ranch residence. Soft white privacy walls encircle the front courtyard, giving outsiders little hint of what lies beyond: more than 2,000 square feet of finished outdoor living space and an architecturally striking, two-story dwelling with ample storage in its finished garage and attic. The waterfall feature sets a tranquil mood while transmuting clear originality. And each new space, from the living room with its high ceilings and Magma Gold granite fireplace, to the gourmet kitchen filled with top-tier appliances and custom cabinetry, only confirms this initial impression. Living here means occupying a private world all your own. There are no shared walls. And although the unit enjoys golf course views, it is set back far enough to ensure peace and security. This is indoor-outdoor living at its finest. Nature features prominently in every room, through angular windows that echo the geometry of exposed beams in the living room, and sliding glass doors that always draw you back into fresh, fragrant air. When you're ready to venture beyond your refuge, you'll find the Carmel Valley Ranch pool and spa directly across from you. Take a dip or indulge in a hot soak. Wherever you go, beauty follows.
