When some people go house hunting, they might hope for something classic or traditional in style. But, for those design risk takers that look to go against the grain, there’s a new listing in Carmel Valley, California that’s a must-see. Designed by architect Marcel Sedletzky, this is the first time the circa-1971 house has hit the market. It’s asking just shy of $5 million.
Sedletzky, who was born in Russia, spent the majority of his life living in Carmel-by-the-Sea and creating homes around California. And, it’s clear to see that he drew inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright and the style of organic architecture.
Stark lines and wood finishes are the name of the game at this special residence that provides near-perfect harmony with the outdoors. Walls of windows offer glances out to the lush landscaping, but life is just as fun within the wood-lined interiors. Pops of blue stick out through furnishings, while other details certainly provide a retro feel. The dining area’s circular fireplace, outlined with colorful glass, and the curving sunken den are key examples.
In general, the main floor has an open, effortless flow that puts hosting front and center. Whether you’re cooking in the kitchen, mingling in front of the multiple fireplaces, or stepping outside through glass doors to enjoy the poolside patio. A modern staircase then leads up to the five bedrooms and five bathrooms, which are often accented by skylights or angular windows. Additionally on the property is a separate guest house, complete with a wine cellar and game room.
Striking and spacious, this Sedletzky original is an unusual find. Courtney Stanley and Skip Marquard of Sotheby’s International Realty hold the listing.
