Luxurious Modern Home Renovation in Marin County

Originally a modest summer cottage, this residence was completely rebuilt and thoughtfully expanded to create a modern, comfortable home that blends classic charm with contemporary residential design. The transformation introduced a generous great room, two spacious bedrooms, two well-appointed bathrooms, and an eat-in kitchen that serves as the heart of the home. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams elevate the main living areas, creating dramatic volume and enhancing the home’s light-filled, airy atmosphere. Carefully positioned windows and doors maximize natural light and frame views of the surrounding landscape.

The architectural redesign prioritized open-concept living while maintaining a sense of warmth and intimacy. The great room seamlessly integrates living and dining spaces, anchored by refined millwork and clean-lined detailing. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, high-quality appliances, and thoughtfully designed storage solutions that balance beauty and function. A large island encourages gathering, while durable, sustainable materials support both daily use and long-term livability.

Exquisite finishes and fixtures reflect timeless elegance and understated luxury. Wide-plank hardwood floors, curated lighting selections, and layered textures create depth and visual interest throughout. Each bathroom was designed with spa-inspired elements, combining natural stone, custom vanities, and carefully selected hardware to achieve a cohesive aesthetic.

The property’s gardens were also fully reimagined, incorporating stone terraces, native plantings, and defined outdoor rooms that extend the living space beyond the interior walls. These terraces provide direct access from the main living areas, fostering effortless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The landscape design complements the home’s modern farmhouse character while respecting the natural setting.

This comprehensive rebuild exemplifies custom residential architecture, blending thoughtful space planning, quality craftsmanship, and enduring design principles to create a home that feels both timeless and distinctly contemporary—perfectly suited for everyday living and gathering with family and friends.
