Stoically poised above the striking, ocean-piercing cliffs of Carmel Highlands, this sanctuary showcases the raw, elemental setting as a bewitching panorama visible in unfiltered detail from almost every room of the timelessly elegant interior. The upper story, enhanced by hardwood floors and crowned by vaulted, open-beam ceilings, boasts a delicately segmented expanse of living areas and decks, that unite to form a versatile mecca of relaxation and entertainment. Mammoth slabs of Brazilian Quartzite with a leather top finish provide the kitchen with graceful form and robust function while towering windows encase the golden sunsets in spectacular fashion. The lower story hosts a palatial array of bedrooms, the paragon of which is the primary enclave that boasts a stone fireplace, private entry, sleek bathroom, massive walk-in closet, and seductive, hypnotizing views of the Pacific. Shared access to a pristine, private beach is the exclamation point on this alluring, coastal paradise.

At the end of a private road off of one of Carmels most desirable streets, 201 Spindrift features views of the Pacific Ocean, white water, waves, stunning sunsets and coastal pines. This split-level, completely remodeled home has vaulted ceilings, large windows and views from both levels. The top floor has a large living room and family room, and a dining room, kitchen, bedroom and a half bath, all with hardwood floors. Downstairs is an expansive master bedroom with fireplace, walk-in closet, and a masterful bathroom overlooking Yankee Point. There are two additional bedrooms on the lower level, one with it's own bathroom and the other a shared bath. There is a laundry room and interior storage. There is a private entrance to the downstairs level and a private entrance to the first floor bedroom, great for those sandy feet when returning from the private beach shared by neighbors. The double car garage is detached. There are plenty of outdoor entertaining areas to enjoy the views.
