A flush-mount 8-foot door opens to a spacious walk-in pantry, perfect for chefs and snack-seekers. Off the kitchen, dining, and family rooms, folding glass walls extend the southern-facing living area to a 1,000SF patio and decks with a grill and fire pit. The primary suite offers a resort-like retreat with a Scandinavian wood-burning stove, floating vanity, freestanding tub, rain shower, and custom resin and wood doors. Across an ipe deck to the north, access a versatile 200SF lifestyle space from the home or a private secure side gate, featuring a copper outdoor shower. Sustainability features include solar panels and a 3,600-gallon water reclamation tank. Custom details, like owner-crafted outdoor sconces, reflect the care and ingenuity in this Carmel home.
