1121 Laurelwood, Carmel

An extraordinary New England cottage-inspired retreat, this remarkable residence is set on 1.66 beautifully appointed acres and offers a rare combination of timeless architecture, sophisticated interiors and resort-caliber amenities. Built by RJ Klein and in 2023 extensively renovated by Hoss Homes, the property features significant updates inside and out, redesigned landscaping and all-new lighting throughout. At the heart of the home is a completely reimagined kitchen with new cabinetry, countertops, finishes, fixtures and two dishwashers; only the range and double ovens remain from the original space. Multiple porches and outdoor living areas overlook the pool and hot tub, complemented by a cabana with a wood-burning fireplace. A greenhouse, carriage house, basketball court and gymnasium, plus a state-of-the-art fitness facility with a large traditional sauna, create an extraordinary setting for recreation, wellness and entertaining. The main-level primary retreat features a fireplace, screened porch, fully renovated walk-in closet and laundry, beverage refrigerator and completely redesigned spa-like bath with steam shower, soaking tub, three showerheads and Waterworks unlacquered brass fixtures. Upstairs are four additional en-suite bedrooms and a spacious recreation room. Every bathroom has been renovated, many with Waterworks fixtures. Additional highlights include three interior and two outdoor wood-burning fireplaces, six oversized garage bays with high ceilings, heated garages, an EV charger and a partially heated driveway. Timeless yet comprehensively updated, this is a truly distinctive estate designed for exceptional everyday living and entertaining.
