Take one part tired farmhouse and one part huge lot with mature trees and mountain views, add two parts complete redesign & remodel, and you've got a thoroughly refreshed farmhouse that fosters privacy and serenity to spare.
Sven Simon, partner in dasMOD says, "When we saw this home, we said, 'WOW!' Between the large private lot, tons of beautiful old trees, and the charming neighborhood...all that was missing was a major update."
New windows & doors allow lots of pure, natural light to pour into the kitchen & dining room, showcasing the handsome appointments of marble countertops, custom cabinets and top quality appliances.
With new oak floors and all new windows and doors, central air was added, while the acreage was padded. That brought the home's open floor plan to life.
dasMOD did more than renovate; they rebuilt.
Taking the 2-bedroom, 1-3/4 bathroom footprint, they gutted what was out-of-date, demolished an illegal addition, raised floors to grade and vaulted ceilings for height. Then, after turning hallways into bedrooms, and a game room into a master suite, they added a full bedroom and a quarter of a bathroom, morphing less than 1200 to nearly 1800 square feet; all without losing the charm of the original, or affecting the character of the neighborhood.
Using quality products, a severely outdated bathroom was made more modern while still integrating some flavors of a bygone era. And by incorporating a warm and inviting palette of color, along with adding new windows, the home truly does have a new lease on life.
Set in the foothills of Altadena, CA, this once tired home was rejuvenated with tasteful colors, handsome finishes, and the sort of attention to detail you expect from professionals who love what they do.
