“We spotted the property when we were on a walk nearby and I immediately got a showing,” the homeowner says. “We knew it had to have a spectacular view.”
Calling this updated 1960s home a “house” feels like an understatement. From its six-car garage to the second-floor mother’s suite (“we call it Baba’s Penthouse,” the homeowner says) to the main house itself, this property is truly in a league of its own. Each piece of the property speaks to the homeowner’s unique needs and personality, cultivating a space for the whole family to live and work together.
Stepping inside, it’s hard not to notice one gorgeous feature. Peer through the windows to your left and you’ll find an indoor pool complete with diving board, hot tub and tiki bar.
Custom homebuilder Vicky’s Homes handled the massive renovation — tearing out flooring and fixtures, adding over 2,000 square feet to the home, and connecting the garage to the main home with a breezeway. It’s difficult to capture the effect of the renos with a list — before and after photos hardly look like the same home at all. Exposed beams maintain some of this mid-century home’s history but the feel is decidedly modern. Sleek finishes and stainless steel appliances transform the kitchen. Doubling the height of the great room and adding twenty-foot windows invite the outdoors in — gorgeous regardless of season thanks to a lush, beautifully landscaped backyard and the ravine beyond.
But sometimes you need to close the curtains to the outside — and with windows this big, the homeowners were seeking something custom for their needs. Wigger Draperies created the draperies for the showstopper windows, and all the windows in the home. The choice of fabric lends texture and warmth that big rooms require.
“With these large homes, most clients come to us looking for softness,” Aga from Wigger Draperies says. “We used ultra-modern translucent sheers to respect the view and used formal velvet to define the living room and dining spaces without creating physical barriers.”
Another original element Vicky’s Home maintained during the renovation is the gorgeous metal spiral staircase that leads to the newly renovated primary suite on the second floor, complete with home office, laundry, walk-in closet and a balcony, to catch some fresh air amongst the trees.
The renovations transformed a beautiful but dated home into the kind of living most people only dream of — places to live, work, play and connect with family without leaving the property.
