Dolores 4 SE of 13th Street

A rare departure from the traditional Carmel cottage, this comprehensively reimagined home embraces a warm, organic modern aesthetic. Inspired by the relaxed sophistication of Napa resort-style cues and contemporary California design, the home blends rich natural textures, dramatic architectural lines, and effortless indoor-outdoor living.

Thoughtfully transformed with an emphasis on elevated entertaining and everyday comfort, the four-bedroom layout is exceptionally rare for Carmel-by-the-Sea. Even rarer, is the approximately 7 foot front yard privacy wall, surrounding the expansive gathering spaces, bespoke firepit and fountain features.

The designer kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home, featuring Taj Mahal quartzite countertops with waterfall detailing and full-height slab backsplash, along with premium Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, all draped around an expansive center island and generous bar seating. Layered and custom finishes, curated lighting, a dedicated laundry space, and a dramatic hotel inspired powder room designed to leave a lasting impression- further elevate the home’s refined yet relaxed atmosphere.

Private, sophisticated, and intentionally understated, this home captures a newer expression of Carmel luxury – one rooted in warmth, architectural calm, and modern California living.
