14186 Klingensmith Boulevard, Carmel

Some homes are designed for living. Others seem to have been created for the stage. 14186 Klingensmith Blvd. is a little of both. From its beautifully appointed interiors to its extraordinary outdoor living spaces, this is a home with personality, purpose, and a gift for entertaining. The interiors aren't afraid of color-and that's part of their charm. A confident palette of red, white, black, and gray flows thoughtfully throughout the home, creating a look that is sophisticated, cohesive, and wonderfully individual. Beyond the walls, the home unfolds into a series of destinations. Gather around the outdoor dining table, settle into the sitting area beside the chiminea as evening arrives, or unwind in the hot tub. These thoughtfully designed spaces make the outdoors an extension of the home and offer a different setting for every kind of gathering. And then there is The Getaway. That's the owners' name for the remarkable finished lower level, and it is easy to see why. At its heart is a fabulous British-style pub, accompanied by a pool table, generous gathering space, and room to entertain on a grand scale. The area where the poker table now stands once served as a dance floor when the owners competed in ballroom dancing. It is a basement with a history-and a personality-of its own. Throughout the home, exceptional improvements, custom touches, and years of thoughtful care are evident. This is a property that has been genuinely enjoyed, generously shared, and continually enhanced. The result is something increasingly rare: a home that doesn't simply offer beautiful rooms, but creates experiences. Come for the setting, stay for the destinations, and discover a house that knows how to make life a little more interesting.
