A complete ‘re-imagining’ of this deteriorating faux-Polynesian rancher on a spectacular hillside site included significant exterior and interior alterations coupled with additions of 1,716 sf on two levels. Much of the pre-existing structure was reused, and the property has been transformed into a 7,320 sf. (5,523 sf living area) estate in the Spanish Colonial Revival style. The new design elegantly resolves a floor plan mangled by poorly-planned earlier additions and remodels. It opens the living spaces up to the surroundings, and features a secluded new Master Suite with beautifully framed views out of every window.
