Life is grand in this palatial 5 bedroom, 4 bath home on a double cul-de-sac in Carmel Valley! Set on a beautiful corner lot with lush foliage, enter through the home’s distinctive turret to a tiled foyer met by a striking spiral staircase with a maple balustrade that extends along an upper story catwalk.
