A simplified farmhouse aesthetic was the direction chosen for the exterior. The front elevation is anchored by a heavy timber sitting porch which has views overlooking the paddock area. The gabled roof forms anchor the building to the field, offering dimension to the landscape on an otherwise flat site.

This 5,200-square-foot Spanish Transitional courtyard estate in Bakersfield blends timeless Spanish architectural character with contemporary California living. The primary suite opens to a private covered second-floor balcony overlooking the resort-style pool and landscaped rear yard. A rich stained wood ceiling brings warmth overhead, while custom geometric railing preserves open views across the property. Comfortable lounge seating transforms the balcony into a private outdoor retreat directly connected to the primary bedroom.
