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.

We absolutely loved our stay here. Everyone loved their rooms, slept so well in such a quiet space, and created great memories in the living room and around the dining room table. The kitchen was well appointed, allowing us to have fun cooking for each other. Great location. Landscaping was beautiful, creating a very relaxed outdoor space.

The house and location were fantastic. The rooms and bathroom were spacious and luxurious and provided everything one might need. The kitchen is a gourmets chef delight. The backyard, which is in a beautiful setting, equipped with a BBQ grill, fireplace and lounge area adds to a very relaxed feeling. Uschi and Jochen

Our family had an outstanding visit. The property is very comfortable -- well-appointed and well-maintained -- and had everything we needed inside and outside to enjoy a family gathering. It is in a quiet neighborhood with a reasonable walk (+/- 20 minutes) to the core of Carmel. Check-in and check-out were easy and ownership did a fantastic job making us feel welcomed. We would absolutely stay again!
