4865 Briarwood Court

First time on the market in 35 years! Set on a spectacular 1.11-acre wooded lot in Carmel, this architecturally distinctive 5-bedroom Contemporary is surrounded by mature trees and expansive green space. The fully fenced backyard features an in-ground pool, expansive multi-level decking, a hot tub area, and a sprawling flat lawn framed by a canopy of mature trees. Built in 1976 and impeccably maintained by only its second owners, the home occupies one of Briarwood's most impressive homesites. Inside, vaulted ceilings, skylights, warm wood-plank details, and a dramatic marble fireplace showcase the home's distinctive design. Multiple living spaces are oriented toward the backyard, where expansive windows frame views of the property's mature trees and surrounding landscape. The updated kitchen features quartzite countertops, a full-slab quartzite backsplash and stainless steel Cafe & JennAir appliances. A main-level office with built-ins opens directly to the deck, creating a flexible space for work, study, or guests. Upstairs, the vaulted primary suite and three additional bedrooms enjoy treetop views. The finished lower level offers additional living and recreation space, including a unique room with interior windows currently used as an exercise studio. A rear-load 3-car garage with epoxy flooring completes the home. 50 years after it was built, the home's design remains as distinctive today as ever, a fitting complement to its extraordinary setting.
