This two-story addition transforms the original 1966 home, doubling its footprint and opening it to light, views, and the surrounding landscape. Nestled on a half-acre lot and framed by mature trees, the design feels both expansive and connected to nature. On the main level, the new primary suite and office offer everyday convenience, while upstairs two bedrooms, a full bath, and a media room create a retreat for family life. Expansive balconies and a generous deck extend living outward. The site’s steep slope demanded extensive engineering, from terraced retaining walls to deep structural footings—work that grounds the house while allowing it to rise gracefully above the land. Clad in tongue-and-groove cedar siding in natural and charcoal tones, the exterior strikes a balance between warmth and modern restraint. Inside, refined details heighten the experience. The primary bath is a serene haven, featuring Ann Sacks Terrazzo Renata, a soaking tub, dual shower heads, floating oak cabinetry, and custom medicine cabinets. Oak hardwood floors unify the interiors, softening the minimalist aesthetic. Upstairs, the media room connects seamlessly to a shared bath, accessible from both hallways serving the bedrooms. A skylight washes the space in natural light, while Fireclay tile and Maharam wallpaper layer in texture and subtle reflectivity, completing a calm, contemporary retreat.
