0 SW Santa Rita 4 SW of Ocean Street

Behind the gates lies a magnificent secret garden, an enchanted world concealed from Santa Rita's quiet street, just 3 blocks from town. Ancient oaks arch overhead, their sculptural branches canopying a Brazilian hardwood deck perfectly suited to Carmel's effortless indoor-outdoor living. Inside, the finishes are nothing short of extraordinary. Jerusalem limestone floors flow beneath soaring vaulted wood ceilings, where skylights pour natural light across every surface. In the living room, a jewel-toned stained-glass window casts the space in luminous color, while a dramatic stone fireplace anchors the room with unmistakable presence. The chef's kitchen features Viking and Bosch appliances, custom beadboard cabinetry, granite countertops, a handsome tile backsplash, a butcher block island, and a built-in wine refrigerator. All framed by graceful arched doorways that speak to the home's artisan craftsmanship throughout. A three-bedroom layout with two primary suites means everyone finds their retreat here, whether beneath the skylights or among the oaks. A Juliet balcony, stone garden paths, and terra cotta rooflines weave it all together into something that feels less like a property and more like a place you were always meant to find.
