Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Avrio by the Sea"! Sleeps 8 adults & 1 child.
Enjoy the Carmel lifestyle at one of the world’s premiere vacation destinations, where guests can enjoy the ambiance from the home's two beautifully landscaped patios and from inside a one-of-a-kind home that blends contemporary and vintage elements.
The 2,500sf home, designed by John Thodos, an award-winning architect known for mixing minimalism with Mediterranean openness and light, is at the end of a very private cul de sac just a 10-minute walk to downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
Distant ocean views through the treetops can be seen from the upper floor through large picture windows. The comfortable décor mixes contemporary furnishings with vintage nautical items such as an antique diver’s helmet and a coffee table made from a ship’s wheel.
The home is walking distance to downtown Carmel and a 5 minute walk to the beach as well as just 10 minutes by car from golf and dining in Pebble Beach®, or from Pacific Grove’s famed butterfly trees. It’s also just 15 minutes from the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Cannery Row, or a half-hour from the natural wonders of Big Sur.
A vine-covered arch is the entry to a curved walkway that leads to a flagstone patio that surrounds the front door. The sheltered patio, which has a built-in bar with sink, generous seating and a gourmet gas grill, features heaters so that the space can be enjoyed year-round. A special sliding door can be opened so that it’s easy to move between the kitchen and the patio, bringing the outdoors inside.
The front door opens into the upper level, which includes an open floor plan with kitchen, dining area and living room, ideal for entertaining. The fully equipped kitchen includes a four-burner gas stove with built-in griddle, built-in water spigot above the stove, stainless steel appliances, and marble counter tops and back splash. Seating for three is available at the kitchen counter.
The adjacent living room with an open beam ceiling offers comfortable upholstered furniture around a gas fireplace with marble surround, a perfect spot for conversation, playing games or watching the 40-inch HDTV. A bar area is available next to the dining room table, which seats six. Well-equipped for extended stays!
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
Bedroom #1 is upstairs, with a queen bed, a built-in writing desk, 32-inch HDTV and large west-facing windows. The en suite bathroom features marble countertops and floors, dual sinks, a deep tub, and separate shower with dual showerheads and pebbled floor.
Bedroom #2, also upstairs, includes a queen bed, built-in writing desk and 28-inch HDTV, and direct access to the adjacent hall bath with marble countertops and flooring, and a shower. This room has a private patio with bistro seating.
A spiral staircase leads downstairs to the lower level, where a bonus room offers a 28-inch HDTV, DVD player and DVD library, a writing area and queen sleeper sofa. The bathroom on this level is accessed via either bedroom #3 or Bedroom #4 and there is a bathroom upstairs with hall access that is shared with bedroom #2.
Bedroom #3 - Queen bed and 28-inch HDTV and a separate entrance.
Bedroom #4 - Bunk Room - 4 built-in twin beds that can sleep four (2 up, 2 down).
