759 Johnson Drive, Carmel

Modern traditional is having a moment, and this classic Carmel Colonial feels perfectly at home in it. With timeless red brick, black shutters and a gracious entry, the curb appeal sets the tone for interiors that blend American tradition with a collected, English-country point of view. Inside, warm parquet flooring, substantial millwork, built-ins, a brick masonry fireplace and a charming formal dining room with botanical wallpaper and deep green accents deliver the character today's grand-millennial and cottage-inspired interiors celebrate. Flexible formal living room serves well as an office or other use. 4bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms and a two car garage. Huge basement with a ton of storage and finished areas. The custom high end kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a large center island, stainless appliances and casual dining space, while separate living and family rooms provide the kind of defined, flexible spaces that make traditional homes feel newly relevant. Four bedrooms are upstairs, including a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet and double-sink bath. A full basement adds finished recreation and exercise areas along with exceptional storage and workshop spaces. Then there is the setting: Entertain on the massive deck set on .35 acre with mature trees and frontage on a stocked pond where fishing and non-motorized watercraft as well as water recreation are permitted. Paddle out, cast a line or simply enjoy the water view from home. With nearly 2,700 finished square feet and an attached two-car garage, this is classic Carmel architecture with a decidedly current sense of style-and a little cottage-country lifestyle tucked into one of the most consistently rated cities in America for quality of life.
