A Monterra Remodel Takes Flight
Even though custom homebuilding is our passion, you can find just as much reward and satisfaction in a beautiful and unique remodel.
Remodeling isn’t just about updating and modernizing; it also makes a house feel more like a custom home. These Monterra homeowners entrusted us to add finely crafted personal touches that not only enhance their home, but make it feel more like them.
Given the breathtaking scenery available around the Carmel Valley area, maximizing views is always a priority. In this case, we had the privilege of working for a very impressive couple - she being a stunt pilot, and he a former engineer. Their views offered a direct view of the Monterey Airport runway, which allows them to monitor real-time flying conditions.
Spaces are defined yet open in this completely custom kitchen and surrounding dining and living room. Personalized details were added throughout, such as the unique wall sconces flanking the apron-front sink and the striking, copper range hood.
Guests can help themselves to a glass of wine or a cocktail at the custom wet bar, conveniently located between the dining room and kitchen and is now illuminated by this elegant under-cabinet lighting. Together, the one-of-a-kind fluted copper basin and surrounding Lemurian Blue granite counter are the epitome of livable luxury.
There is no better way to relax than with a luxurious custom freestanding soaking tub, all while taking full advantage of your gorgeous views. We carefully chose this spot for the tub and replaced a window with a patio door to allow direct access to the private patio. The tub is highlighted with a custom fabricated wood base and railings.
The use of technology throughout the remodel was important to these homeowners. This included recessed LED lighting, and smart switches throughout the house. These essential features progressed the functionality of their home.
Above the garage is the newly extended home office — now double its original size. Of course, we also made sure to add a dramatic, oversized window to bring more of the incredible Carmel Valley views into this space.
