Soft lines were desired in a limited space surrounded by easements, building and pool setbacks. Simple architectural curves complemented the architecture of the home. This allowed the client to have a walk around the pool and provide maximum pool surface area. The spa side dry steps allowed access to the pool steps 18" lower than the patio. The spa provides a strong visual from the family room and balancing the project the fire bowl and rainfall provides a strong visual from the arbor, grill counter, bar and master bedroom. We added a door from the master bedroom to allow access directly to the fire pit on that cold winter night. The fire bow wall provides a screen for the utility transformer and location for the rainfall. Landscaping softens the lines of the hardscape fence, and house walls. The firelight along with the low voltage lighting accent the space at night. The step lights allow for safe travel over the changes in elevation to the pool. The stone veneers match the existing grill and bar counter and the flagstone coping step treads and wall caps match existing stone kitchen patio. The concrete paving pattern was selected to match the pattern of the existing stone kitchen patio as well. The trip to the city zoning board was well worth the reward of providing everything the client wanted in a limited space. Project designed by Mike Farley.

The soothing hues of soft blue and ivory take center stage in the main foyer. “We had to be mindful of the proper size and scale of this space,” Booysen says of the room’s long but narrow dimension. “We wanted to create a little bit of drama here,” Schlein says, “and so we placed a contemporary chair tufted and covered in a taupe linen blend and finished in a flame stitch. A great statement piece from Design Masters.” Just across the space is an upholstered console in grey faux leather and fashioned with silver nailheads. Urns and vases in various sizes in a sky blue hue are from the accessories collection found at Wostbrock Home Interiors and find a niche on and near the console.

FRONT VIEW- Inspired by the west coast home style, this Traditional (inspired Craftsman) style model reflects a timeless home with a look that is always in demand. From its striking “L” shape, with a triple garage that boasts a 668 sq.ft. of bonus space on its second level, and covered porches in both front and back, this beautiful home has something for everyone! Upon entering high ceilings, reaching almost 18’ in the foyer and the family room, add to the appeal of the main level's well thought out floor plan. A remarkable master suite has its own fireplace and well appointed bathroom that is accessible through a his and hers style walk-in closet. The abundantly fenestrated living/dining area has a second fireplace that can be enjoyed from both sides and the kitchen has a large central island, walk-in pantry and a delightful breakfast nook that overlooks the view from the back terrace. The separate laundry/mud room off of the garage entrance to the house adds to the livability of this home with features made to measure for today’s larger, blended families. Upstairs there is a second master suite and the two other bedrooms share a bathroom with its own shower. The reading/computer corner on the mezzanine overlooks the family room below and the 14’ x 41’8” bonus space above the garage, accessible from this level, provides room to grow!
