A gracious portico and glass front door open to a dramatic gallery entrance and more than 8,500 finished square feet across three beautifully conceived levels. Oversized windows and glass doors flood the home with light and maintain a constant connection to the landscape. 10-foot ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, custom inset cabinetry and lighting from Visual Comfort, Hinkley and Studio McGee bring warmth and refinement throughout.

An adjacent bar adds another polished entertaining element, while the separate scullery keeps everyday function beautifully out of sight with extensive pantry storage, a sink, third dishwasher and washer/dryer. The kitchen flows into the breakfast area and expansive family room, where walls of glass capture the greenery beyond and sculptural alabaster lighting adds warmth and character. Doors open to a generous deck and approximately 28-foot screened porch overlooking the rear grounds and parkland.A private main-level bedroom suite offers vaulted ceilings and expansive views, ideal for guests or multigenerational living. The mudroom provides multiple points of entry and connects to four garage bays arranged as two separate two-car garages. An elevator services all three levels. Upstairs, five bedrooms on one level create a rare and highly functional layout. The expansive primary suite is filled with natural light and features a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets and a beautifully appointed bath with Kallista fixtures, a large shower, slipper tub and dual sinks. Four additional bedrooms, abundant closet space and a dedicated upstairs laundry room complete the level. The full-daylight, walk-out lower level is flooded with natural light and feels like a true continuation of the home. With 10-foot ceilings, it offers an expansive game room and wet bar with a waterfall-edge countertop, a dedicated room for golf simulator/theater, private gym and a true seventh bedroom with walk-in closet and full bath. Multiple glass doors open directly to a covered patio and the spectacular rear grounds beyond. What ultimately distinguishes 6908 Carmichael is the extraordinary attention to detail paired with a setting that simply cannot be replicated. Custom millwork, beautifully selected stone and fixtures, designer lighting and expansive glass create a home that feels polished yet deeply livable. The flat, private lot opens to parkland and provides a stunning natural canvas for a pool, gardens, play areas or whatever comes next. It is a bespoke residence that achieves the elusive balance of form and function, created for a glorious life.
