A newly renovated modern farmhouse ready for an exterior to match. The build moves in phases.
Front, Fall 2025: new concrete steps, new driveway, and a DG sitting area positioned to watch the kids play in the court — a small, parental design move.
Back: the bigger lift yet to come — designed for future build. A steep hillside reworked for low-maintenance erosion control, planted with new shade trees, and met by a deck built off the home’s new addition for proper California indoor-outdoor living. Top of the program: a BBQ, television, lounge seating, dining for ten, and room to play. New fencing throughout.
