Welcome to the Carmel, one of the more highly sought-after home plans at Trilogy Monarch Dunes - this pristine home is beautifully situated on a tranquil south facing lot, and features a lovely casita with its own private entrance. Venture inside - it?s luxury personified - from the gorgeous hand-scraped wood flooring to the multitude of designer features throughout including Hunter Douglas shades and custom lighting. Walk past the spacious office/den with French door enclosure and head toward the great room and adjacent dining area - it?s light, bright and expansive with a slider in each area heading to the covered backyard patio. The great room features a gorgeous stone fireplace - a great spot to relax and mingle with friends. Tying it all together is the gourmet kitchen with stone slab countertops and island, top-of-the-line stainless appliances including a 72? Euro style French door refrigerator, double wall ovens, 6-burner gas cooktop, rich Shaker-style cherry cabinetry, and sleek tile backsplash. Adjacent, you?ll find the spacious Smart Space/laundry with stone slab counters/storage cabinets, and a walk-in pantry. Entertaining couldn?t be easier - start with wine and tapas around the kitchen island, a sit-down meal in the dining area, and cap off the evening with dessert around the built-in gas fire pit in the serene backyard with paver pathways and lush low maintenance landscaping - this is Trilogy living at its best! When it?s time to retire for the night, head toward your master suite, a true oasis - the spacious bedroom is bright and airy; the en-suite bath is a luxurious sanctuary with a jetted tub, striking tiled shower with seamless glass enclosure, dual sinks, vanity, linen storage and a spacious walk-in closet. When friends and family stay over there?s a guest room with en-suite bath, which is shared with a casita. The casita features it?s own front entrance, plus private access to the extended side yard with its tranquil gardens, paver patio and large sitting/dining area. It also has a spacious bedroom, sitting area and a walk-in closet, making this the perfect in-laws suite. Add to this, a powder room, solar, air-conditioning, tankless water heater, while house security system, Pelican Walter filtration system, and 2-car garage with showroom epoxy floors and loads of custom storage cabinets. Best of all, this spectacular home is located in Trilogy with award-winning Adelina?s Bistro, Sandalwood Spa, two golf courses, and so much more.
