The 8,300-square-foot home at 10493 Bishop Circle in Carmel features five bedrooms and backs up to a pond.

Buyers looking for a big house in a quiet neighborhood might want to check out the Windemere subdivision in Carmel.

The one-owner home at 10493 Bishop Circle sits on a half-acre lot, but inside there are three levels of space — nearly 8,400 square feet in all. And golf lovers will like that the neighborhood is adjacent to Crooked Stick Golf Club.

Listed for $990,000, the five-bedroom home backs up to a peaceful pond with a fountain. A large deck offers plenty of entertaining space, and the backyard is fully fenced, but it doesn’t obstruct views of the water.

Natural light spills into every room of the home, even the basement, which features large windows and high ceilings. Inside the two-story entry with marble tile floor is a den/sitting room with built-in bookcases and French doors.

Maple hardwoods run throughout the rest of the main level, and plantation shutters on all the windows let the outdoors inside.

From the foyer, you can see to the water at the back of the house. The open-concept kitchen, remodeled in 2011, includes top-of-the-line appliances, an induction cooktop and Cambria countertops. A roomy breakfast nook and hearth room with a fireplace complete the space.

Also on the main level are a formal dining room, a grand living room with a fireplace, a laundry area, two powder rooms and master suite with a remodeled bath featuring radiant floor heating, a walk-through closet with built-in drawers and cabinetry, a separate toilet and shower and a jetted tub.

The owners built the home in 1994 and raised their child here; now it’s time to downsize.

“They absolutely loved it here,” said real-estate agent Rada Adams with Encore Sotheby’s International Realty. “It’s telling that the home has had just the one owner and has been so well maintained.”

Upstairs is another large bedroom and bath that could be a second master suite, as well as a loft and two additional bedrooms that share a bath. Attic space over the garage has been finished, making it ideal for a craft room, exercise area or extra storage.

The finished basement has a separate entrance, which would make it suitable for an in-law suite or guest quarters. There’s a large rec room, separate entertainment area with a wet bar, an office/bedroom, exercise room and full bath.
