Casa Serena: Stunning 4 Bedroom 3 Bath Custom Built Home

Summary:
Flowers welcome you to Casa Serena as you approach the front gate, where a rush of vibrant pinks and purples against a backdrop of warm red stone fills your field of vision. This is the beginning of an unforgettable experience at a custom-built property in the heart of Carmel. An open floor plan allows you to move freely about the gourmet kitchen, grabbing drinks from a sub-zero refrigerator and preparing a meal using state-of-the-art appliances, while watching your loved ones cozy up to the stone fireplace in the adjacent living area.

Wood beams guide your gaze along a vaulted ceiling, enticing you with panoramic views of a massive, fully private and fenced backyard that harmoniously blends stone hardscaping with lush yard space and thriving gardens. Enjoy those cool Carmel evenings around a stunning outdoor fireplace, and explore multiple patios and a newly installed turf side yard. Notice the artist’s studio. Equipped with its own kitchenette, it offers extra privacy and an additional space for tranquil contemplation.

Entering Casa Serena feels like stepping into another world. Lustrous custom finishes and wood shutters meet a sandy taupe palette throughout the home to create the sense of living in an exotic jungle retreat. Of course, this luxurious getaway is just minutes from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea – the perfect fusion of convenience and serenity.

Great House, great location

We really enjoyed this property. Nice and big and comfortable. Easy drive into Carmel or to the beach. A few minor repairs needed that we have advised and hoping the managers will respond to - otherwise we would certainly recommend this property.
