Three years of work.
Every room transformed.

Between 2022 and 2025, this 1970-built single-story home underwent a comprehensive renovation — new roof, new solar system, a reconfigured primary suite, two additional bedrooms, and a guest bedroom, a detached studio, and a complete interior remodel. Here's the story of that transformation.

2022
Complete Interior Remodel
Gutted and rebuilt interior — wide-plank hardwood floors throughout, new lighting, modern open layout.
2023
New Roof + Solar System
Complete Spanish tile roof replacement. 22-panel, 8KW owned solar system (not leased) — produces ~11MWh/year on NEM 2.0, offsetting an 8MWh annual household load including EV charging. Utility costs minimal on NEM 2.0 today — add a battery and flip to all-electric, and the next owner could reach near-zero energy expense.
2024
Primary Suite + Bedrooms + Studio
A primary suite with private en-suite bath, two additional bedrooms, and a guest bedroom — three full baths in all — subway tile with dark grout, matte black hardware, floating wood vanities, frameless glass enclosures. Detached studio with half-bath added.
Full seller disclosures available upon request.
2024
Electrical Upgrades
EV charger (240V), washer/dryer 220V dedicated circuit, solar system integration.
2025
Exterior Refresh + Water Heater
Exterior paint, landscaping improvements, new water heater. Final phase completing zero deferred maintenance.
Transformation
Kitchen & Great Room
Kitchen before renovation Kitchen after renovation
Before After

Dated cabinetry and laminate counters gave way to a quartz waterfall island, ILVE range, and full subway backsplash — opened to the great room beyond.

Bathrooms

Before After

Dated tile and gold fixtures replaced with subway tile, matte black hardware, a floating wood vanity, and a frameless glass enclosure. Each bath in the home follows this same design language.

Transformation
Exterior & Roofline

Before After

Fresh exterior paint, updated landscaping, and carved double front doors give the entry a warm, twilight-ready glow.

Transformation
The Roof
Roof before replacement, with a tarp patch over a leak Roof after full replacement with owned solar
Before After

A leak once meant a tarp patch on the old composition roof. It was fully replaced with new Spanish clay tile and a 22-panel owned solar array — permitted, and with zero deferred maintenance since.
