With two fire pits, a pool and a pond, the backyard of this Carmel home is more than a place for the kids (or your dog) to run free. It's an open-air space built for entertainment.

Located in the gated Bridlebourne subdivision, the recently listed two-story home sits on 1.75 acres, steps away from a pond.

An outdoor kitchen in the rear of the home has a grill, built-in tap, refrigerator and ice maker.

The attached four-car garage has a side area for loading and unloading.

Listing agent Bif Ward also wants Hoosier home buyers to take a look inside.

Through the two-story entry, guests are greeted by hand-distressed walnut floors, elaborate crown molding, arched doorways and windows.

A Colorado stone fireplace is the focal point of the family room with a 14-foot vaulted ceiling.

"A painting above the mantel hides a wide-screen TV," Ward said.

Six bedrooms, seven and a half bathrooms and a sun room provide plenty of living space for residents and guests. The master bedroom feels like a suburban retreat. It has built-in bookcases, a fireplace and French doors that lead to the back patio with fire pit. Attached to the master is a spa-like master bathroom.

"A full 'pool' bath with access to the pool area completes the main level," Ward said. "Each room includes a private, en suite bathroom and generous walk-in closet."

A gourmet kitchen on the main level is outfitted with custom cabinets, travertine tile backsplash, granite counter tops, a six–burner gas cooktop, double ovens and a Sub-Zero refrigerator.

An ornate limestone fireplace in the sunken great room has been paired with an open-beam cathedral ceiling, new hardwood floors and designer chandeliers.
