Tucked away at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this stately, newer-construction Arts and Craftsman Ranch offers a high-end retreat - just steps from the vibrant pulse of Carmel City Center. A shaded, covered front porch leads to the entry foyer with views of the expansive main level - defined by fourteen-foot cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams, oversized windows with louvered shutters, and a great room centered around a raised-hearth gas fireplace. Culinary enthusiasts will gravitate toward the kitchen's seven-and-a-half-foot eat-in island, five-burner gas cooktop with downdraft exhaust, and rich stained, soft-close cabinetry, all supported by a built-in butler's pantry for easy hosting. Indoor-outdoor living is seamless with the four-panel glass sliding doors that lead to a private oasis featuring a covered back patio, pergola-shaded stamped concrete entertainment area with wood-burning stone fireplace, mounted television, built-in grill, high-end ambient lighting, and a serene bubbling boulder water feature overlooking the fenced east-facing manicured yard, including brick-lined landscaping beds. The primary bedroom serves as a sophisticated sanctuary with direct patio access for sunrise coffee and bathroom with spa-like walk-in wet room - with dual shower heads and freestanding garden tub. The primary features an attached office - a versatile space that easily transforms into a serene nursery or second walk-in closet. The second bedroom functions as a sophisticated guest retreat or in-law quarters. The finished lower level leans into a speakeasy-inspired lifestyle, including a thirteen-foot sit-in bar, additional wet bar, beverage fridge, and ample space for a pool table moody lounge or cinema room as well as two additional bedrooms with huge walk-in closets. This residence offers an unparalleled lifestyle within walking distance to the Monon Trail happy hour at Hotel Carmichael concerts at the Palladium Carmel Farmer's Market Cake Bake Salt Restaurant Thai Prime and groceries. **NO HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION!!
