About this property
3771 Serenity in the Woods ~ Unique Architecture, Like Being in a Tree House!
Sanctuary Vacation Rentals is proud to present "Serenity in the Woods"! Sleeps up to 6 guests.
A wood-pole-construction home becomes one with the sky and native pine forest in Pebble Beach®, backed by greenbelt in a tranquil setting.
The 3-bedroom, 3-bath cabin-like home designed by architect David Allen Smith has been featured in architectural books, Sunset Magazine, and the L.A. Times, and features floor-to-ceiling south-facing windows and skylights that face the Del Monte forest and allow natural light to flow through the entire house. The Homeowners have chosen to maximize the views by excluding window coverings throughout the home.
This 2,068-square-foot split-level home is designed to bring the outdoors inside, with decks off the main living area and the primary suite. The home incorporates both mid-century modernist styling and a rustic feel with its unique design featuring wood planks and poles.
The home features vaulted ceilings, an open floor plan and hardwood floors in the living spaces, and cozy bedrooms with built-in storage.
Despite feeling away from it all, it’s just a few minutes by car from the best that Pebble Beach® has to offer in dining, shopping, golf and other activities. It’s just 10 minutes by car to downtown Carmel, charming Pacific Grove, or popular attractions such as Cannery Row and the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
The home offers a carport on the street level with a convenient entryway, making it easy to bring in groceries and other items. There is parking for two small vehicles in the carport and additional parking on the street.
Living Spaces
The living room features a TV mounted above the wood-burning fireplace surrounded by comfortable seats, an ideal setting for conversation, board games or reading a good book.
Kitchen and Dining
The galley-style kitchen has a distinct mid-century vibe and offers a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a combination microwave-convection oven, and a four-burner gas cooktop, in addition to custom-made wooden cabinetry, solid surface countertops and a double sink with a pull-out faucet.
The dining area has seating for five around a wooden table near the wall of windows that looks out at the trees. A long built-in buffet provides ample space for a bar area or for buffet-style meals. The deck also provides additional space for entertaining or enjoying the view.
Bedrooms and Bathrooms
All the bedrooms also have expansive views of the nearby forest through floor-to-ceiling windows which are not encumbered with window coverings of any kind.
Bedroom #1 is located on the main/lower level and includes a king bed with wooden headboard, a private deck, an en suite bath with shower and built-in storage space.
Bedroom #2, also on the main level, has two extra long twin beds that can, alternatively, become a split king with foam topper as needed and an en suite full bathroom.
Bedroom #3, upstairs, has a queen bed and is next to the full hallway bath which has a combination tub/shower and pedestal sink.
Upstairs in a lofty mezzanine area is the media room with cozy seating, small library, queen sofa bed, and HDTV. This space cantilevers over the lower living space and has low, open walls that look down on the rooms below.
A stacked washer-dryer unit is located in a closet on the upper level.
There is also an exterior entrance from the upper level that exits onto the carport area.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome with pre-approval, an additional pet fee and a signed pet addendum. Please note that the yard is not fenced.
The stay is not inclusive of the $12.25 per car, per day Gate Fee to be paid directly to the community of Pebble Beach®. Ask us for details.
This vacation home is professionally managed by Sanctuary Vacation Rentals. With over 15 years of property management experience, Sanctuary strives to provide environments that nurture and inspire with all the comforts of home. Each home has beach towels, shower and bath amenities and spa-style robes. Our team is available 7 days a week to assist you. We look forward to hosting you!
