This Birdrock remodel transformed an old 996 square foot house into a 2,727 square foot Craftsman style home. The new house looks and feels like an original 1920’s Craftsman, but with all the modern luxuries of new construction. Wood was used throughout the interior, from the ceiling beams, wall panels, and trim, all the way to the flooring. The Family Room and Kitchen are full of natural light and are anchored with a 13’-0” high wall of book shelves.
The upper decks and Bedrooms have ocean views and all the casement windows are oriented to capture the natural ocean breezes. The exterior materials included oversized wood beams, green stained shingles, a river rock chimney, river rock fence posts, and flagstone paths.
