Art and Sound: Secluded Carmel Five bedroom home!

Summary:
Welcome to Carmel's Art & Sound!

While Art & Sound is perched atop Carmel hill, it remains close to Carmel-by-the-Sea's village center, offering guests the finest in art and culture, amazing restaurants and dining, the beach, and family-friendly activities. This home is great for couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, and families with young or adult children.

The Space:
This fully remodeled five (5) bedroom (4) bath 3,771 square foot home offers sophisticated design in a secluded setting, just four tenths of a mile away from the shops, restaurants and galleries of Carmel-by-the-Sea. Art & Sound's location is suitable for walking to all the attractions Carmel has to offer, or a 15 minute drive will take guests to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row. Visitors will find world class golf course and fine dining 10 minutes away in Pebble Beach, or take a 30 minute drive to view the spectacular Big Sur coast.

Shielded by California Live Oaks and graced with Monterey Pines, this 3,771-square-foot home has been completely remodeled and updated for guests’ comfort. Full of original artwork with a player piano this home offers the promise of cherished memories to be made. High ceilings add to the spacious feeling, with hardwood floors and light-filled rooms.

Art & Sounds entire main floor of the house is wheel chair accessible.  While there are 10 steps up to the front door, an entrance through the garage is wheelchair accessible, providing access to four of the bedrooms, Family room, Living room, Kitchen and Dining area.

The tastefully living room features a gas fireplace and Large Flat Screen HDTV surrounded by cozy seating. Adjoining the living room, the dining area offers a table that seats ten people comfortably.

The kitchen provides your Family Chef,or Private Chef , a Thermador stove and oven, wine refrigerator, built in microwave, Kitchen aid mixer, food processor, etc. Your hosts have provided spices, cookware, flat ware and serving ware to meet your every need.

The back wall of the family room is full length windows, providing ample natural light. A sliding glass door opens to the enclosed back yard yard and patio. 

The Art? To begin, there’s the artwork that lines the walls: original, abstract canvases that bestow color and sophistication upon each space they inhabit, from the dining room and gourmet kitchen to the home’s entryway and open concept great room; and fine art photography prints of 20th century icons in the second-floor primary bedroom suite and one of four (4) ground floor bedrooms. There are the intriguing sculptures, statues, and vases that stand guard near multiple gas fireplaces – and gaze through wide windows down at natural paths that meander wistfully through an enclosed backyard garden.

Then there is the home itself, which is a modern work of art in its own right, with its wood vaulted ceilings, contemporary lines, hardwood flooring, and walls of colossal windows and skylights that seize upon every possible chance to enliven the property with natural light and invite the outdoors inside.

The Sound? There’s the sound of a piano at one end of the great room, exuding its lovely melodies at your discretion. There are the sounds of your family’s private chef preparing an inspired meal in the kitchen, making excellent use of stainless steel Thermador appliances, a wine refrigerator, spices, premium cookware, flatware, and serving ware. Glasses clink together over the 10-person dining table. Birds sing in the California live oaks and Monterey pines that reach protectively over the backyard patio.

“Art & Sound” is here to fulfill the wishes of anyone looking for a truly elevated experience on the Monterey Peninsula. Serene and secluded atop Carmel Hill, the home is only four tenths of a mile away from Carmel-by-the-Sea’s village center, offering guests access to the finest in art and culture, amazing restaurants, and pristine beaches.

There’s room for six to eight cars on the property’s long driveway, so invite everyone to come join you for appetizers and dinner off the charcoal BBQ grill. As the glow of the sunset fades and the crisp ocean air grows cooler, gather around the fire pit and let the fun and laughter continue into the night!

When it’s time to wind down, retreat to your primary bedroom suite, which makes up the entire second floor and offers a king-size bed and two seating areas. Dim the lights and turn on the fireplace. Draw yourself a warm bath in the freestanding tub, and let any cares melt away under the water. Like the bedroom – and the rest of “Art & Sound” – the primary bathroom benefits from soaring ceilings that further enlarge an already spacious room. Awaken each morning to light streaming in through a multitude of windows placed high and low.

A wonderful stay

This property was amazing, definitely the pictures don’t do it justice. The space was amazingly large, we had a group of 10 and never felt a space that was too small. The ease of being so close to downtown Carmel was such a good feeling. The outside space is much more than the photos in the listing. I enjoyed sitting outside every day and feeling the cool breeze. We had two issues that were addressed: there were no kitchen towels but when I notified the house manager they immediately delivered brand new towels to our front door step. The other issue was one bathroom sink did not work and they sent a handyman immediately, unfortunately they couldn’t fix the faucet but with plenty of bathrooms it was ok (sometimes things happen and I understand). Beyond that the stay was amazing and would love to do another stay there.

beautiful home!

This house was perfect for our large family of 9 with the 5 bedrooms. Most were over 80, so having so many downstairs bedrooms worked well, as well as no stairs from the garage. The driveway was steep, but the parking was ample with a place to turn around. The kitchen was large and well equipped to handle large meals. The views were fantastic! Marco, our contact was very helpful and easy to contact. All in all, we had no problems and lots of fun.

Perfect girls weekend house!

Our annual girls trips are hard to beat, but this trip might have been one of the best. The house was perfect- plenty of space to hang out and enjoy each other's company, amazing kitchen to cook and share food, and really lovely separate spaces for us to be able to retreat for sleep, shower, or have some quiet time. The walk to and from downtown was lovely and a feature (not a bug)- would definitely recommend staying here for larger groups (we had 8).

Thanksgiving Family Fun

We loved the layout of the home and the convenience to the town --- a short walk or a short car ride. The entire home was just wonderful. I appreciated the concern of Mary Jane and Marco to be sure our needs were met. Although my daughter had brought her commercial mixer to make Christmas cookies, Holden had brought a brand new mixer to the house. Holden also brought a stack of games per my request. Marco came when we checked in and went over the heating, grill, and other requests we had. Right before leaving, all of a sudden the upstairs toilet started overflowing (clean water). This was an inconvenience but Marco responded and was going to send a plumber, but by that time we checked out. There was a problem with water pressure in the downstairs shower. It would have been nice if paper napkins and Kleenex had been provided. There should be a fire extinguisher on the property. Our family group of 9 highly recommends this home and the Coastal rental group.

Sibling Reunion

Great property! Four siblings and spouses all had comfortable rooms, private bathrooms and several living areas to eat, play cards or watch football. There's close access to numerous trails and downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea. We also took advantage of the close proximity to Point Lobos. What a treasure! We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!

Private note to owner

Private note to owner — the house is great. The back yard is not pleasant enough to use. The main outdoor dining area has uneven concrete blocks that are a trip hazard and lack charm. The backyard esp the dining terrace has fantastic potential, worth investing in.

We had such a fun stay here! We thought the town would be more walkable from the house but it was still in the perfect location. The property manager was very attentive and exceedingly kind at check in. The kitchen was fully stocked along with all the amenities. You don’t need to bring a thing! There was plenty of room for the 8 of us. We would stay again in a heartbeat.

Our group of friends had ample room to relax and enjoy ourselves. I greatly appreciated the clear communication and responsiveness from the property management company leading up to, and during the stay, for any questions that we had.

Bad weather did not dampen our spirits

Unfortunately, California was really hit with a lot of storms. When we arrived to Carmel, crews were cutting downed trees and degree was everywhere. The first couple days it rained, but the house was so comfortable, we were content. It was a family reunion for my two brothers and sister and our four spouses. The first time all of us had been together in ten years. It was wonderful. There were a couple small problems, which were addressed immediately by Carlos.
