Details

Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Serenbe"! Sleeps up to 8 guests.

An enchanting Carmel-by-the-Sea cottage with terraced patios and garden areas. Fully renovated and enhanced in Old World style but with all the modern convenience, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath home offers a beautiful setting.

This spacious property offers peace and privacy, yet is close to everything that is best about this area: a 5-minute walk to shopping and dining in downtown Carmel and to the Sunset Center; easy access to the beach, the Mission; and only a few minutes’ walk from the renowned outdoor Forest Theater, home of the annual Carmel Shakespeare Festival.

10 minutes by car to golf and sightseeing in Pebble Beach, vintage Victorian homes and monarch butterflies in Pacific Grove, historic Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and nearby wine tasting in Carmel Valley.

A sophisticated rustic ambiance greets visitors entering the beautifully decorated 2,100-square-foot residence, with hardwood floors, rich plaster walls and high open-beam ceilings, and original photography and art. Renovated by acclaimed master builder Al Saroyan, no detail was overlooked - the home retains the cottage style charm that is characteristic of Carmel while adding quality craftsmanship, space and functionality.

A mature garden frames the flagstone walkway to the front door, opening to the living room, which features luxurious velvet sectional seating around a gas fireplace with Carmel stone surround--the perfect place to gather for conversation, games or viewing the 50-inch HDTV.

An adjacent dining area with seating for eight around a round wooden table looks out on the garden and patio outside. French doors from the family room open onto a brick patio with seating for four, a gas grill, along with a stunning outdoor fireplace--an ideal spot for afternoon barbecues or to enjoy an evening cocktail.

The kitchen features tile countertops, alder wood cabinetry, a four-burner Viking gas range with hood, a deep sink with pull-out faucet, and counter seating for two. A sound system throughout the entire home is controlled from the pantry.

The kitchen area opens into the family room, which also has a unique Carmel stone gas fireplace, 55-inch HDTV, comfortable seating, and access to a long back deck with a stairway leading to the beautifully landscaped fenced yard, with a magnolia tree, live oaks, and a patio with seating.

A small room with a bay window at the front of the house can be used as either an office or Bedroom #4, with a desk and twin day bed.
