The nearly 3,000 square feet one-story house concept, designed with a possible second story expansion in mind, was commissioned by recent retirees and will sit on a 1/3 acre orange grove overlooking an expansive valley.  An L-shaped porch leads you to the entryway that also serves as a transitional gallery welcoming you to a cozy living room at the front of the house.  Three bedrooms, each with its own bath, a powder room and a laundry room are allocated on the east wing.  And, as envisioned by the proud owners, an open space layout is set on the west wing consisting of the kitchen, dining room and a 22 foot ceiling height family room that will accommodate large group gatherings for special occasions.

The existing one-story house with attached 2-car garage was remodeled to accommodate four bedrooms and 2 baths within 1,694 square feet of living space.  The front of the house was renovated with a new porch, a new entry area with a higher ceiling, new windows per conversion of walk-in closet at the master bedroom, new horizontal siding and new stone veneer.  An additional 64 square feet was allocated at the existing third bedroom (towards the pool) with a new raised plate height for new vaulted ceilings.  This allowed to convert the new larger space into two bedrooms (bedrooms 3 and 4) and extend the existing kitchen with a new layout.  Other improvements included: reducing size of windows in bedroom 2, replacement of existing window at kitchen with new pop-out window, reducing existing 10 foot sliding glass doors at family room with new 8 foot ones to comply with building code requirements and replacing and relocating water heater with a new tank-less water heater system.
