The home was oriented to maximize sun exposure. Arranged parallel to the slope of the site, it embraces distant views of rolling hills.

A path of restored rock ledges leads to a dry creek, amphitheater, and private gathering space.

The clean cabinetry and moody tiling yield a relaxing upstairs master bath.

A combined living room, kitchen, and dining area enjoy ample light and views thanks to the glazed northern facade.

The kitchen showcases seamless maple cabinetry and soapstone counters, elements that pair well to create a simple, cozy atmosphere.

Peaked ceilings continue in the en suite bathroom.

The team removed dropped ceilings in the relatively small bedrooms and painted the exposed rafters a glossy white to bounce light. “Opening the ceiling makes the [bedrooms] feel much bigger,” says Chernak.

Now, there’s enough room for a dedicated living and dining area, comfortably separated by a walkway out to the sliding glass doors and deck. The flooring is wide-plank pine, which will accrue a nice patina over time.

The newly squared-off bay window now has a built-in bench. The teak cabinet pulls are custom. A Sub-Zero refrigerator is concealed behind teak panels, and a built-in coffee maker sits beside an inset counter.

The team relocated the staircase so it doesn’t break up the facade.

A soapstone apron-front sink with an integrated drainboard adds a simple yet luxe touch. The single floating shelf puts everyday dishes close by without creating visual clutter.
