Prior to its remodel, this home felt dated and lacked a cohesive aesthetic. Guided by the homeowners’ vision of modern elegance and everyday ease, the home was transformed into a refined sanctuary designed for modern living. A study in subtle elegance, every surface and selection inside was made with care: Custom walnut millwork, curated materials, and layers of warm, tactile finishes lend a grounded richness to every room.

A five-foot-wide flat-panel walnut pivot door makes an understated yet memorable first impression, while interior architectural elements that once dated the space— such as heavy ceiling beams and asymmetrical fireplace surrounds — were removed in favor of a cleaner, more balanced aesthetic.

Expansive windows frame serene views of the wooded property, inviting in natural light and highlighting the quiet beauty of the wildlife just beyond the glass. Nature-inspired wallpaper selections echo the outdoor surrounds and add a touch of artistry and depth inside.

In the kitchen, modern cabinetry, streamlined storage, and an expansive island support both daily meals and gatherings with friends. Crafted from walnut and topped with soapstone, the island doubles as a centerpiece that blends daily function with quiet drama.

Redesigned for rest and relaxation, the primary suite now includes dual walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bath, layered with natural stone and artisanal finishes. Ambient lighting, volcanic rock flooring, and softly glazed ceramic tile combine to create a calm, serene experience.

Original hardwood floors were lovingly restored to showcase their natural beauty, while a reimagined fireplace with stained brick surrounds anchors the living room with natural texture and striking height. Downstairs, a complete renovation brightened the lower level, transforming

it into a warm and welcoming extension of the main floor.
