Ideally located within the distinguished gated community of Royal St. George’s in Carmel Mountain Ranch, this beautifully updated single-level residence offers an exceptional blend of timeless elegance and everyday comfort with a quiet location and steps away from an expansive view. Soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and a striking two-sided stone fireplace create an inviting ambiance throughout the formal living and dining rooms, while the thoughtfully redesigned chef’s kitchen impresses with quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, gas cooking, abundant cabinetry, and seamless flow to the breakfast nook and welcoming family room. Large windows frame the peaceful backyard, creating an effortless connection between the home's sophisticated interiors and its tranquil outdoor setting. Designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the private backyard features a covered patio, custom concrete pavers, low-maintenance landscaping, and a beautifully curated hillside with stone steps leading to breathtaking southeasterly views overlooking protected open space. The spacious primary suite serves as a peaceful retreat with backyard views, a generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully remodeled spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, quartz countertops, extensive cabinetry, and a walk-in shower. Two additional bedrooms, an updated secondary bath, a charming sitting area, and a dedicated laundry room complete the floor plan.
