With breathtaking Rio Vista views, ample space to work with, and even a guest house, this Carmel property was already a good one. However, with one baby and another on the way, our clients needed us to make the good great so they could grow their family in a space that truly felt like home.

Drawing from the clients’ modern farmhouse/ranch style inspiration, the Lewis Builders team went to work on transforming both the interior and exterior spaces into the perfect home for this growing family.

A Kitchen Worthy of Gathering

With seemingly endless open and closed storage, an island that comfortably seats four and an extra-large farmhouse sink, this kitchen now has more than enough space for cooking and gathering. A smart wine dispenser by Plum adds a touch of luxury that’s perfect for house parties, and lots of natural light and warm woods help to provide a natural flow into the living area.

Elements that Make a Home

Adding touches of coziness throughout a space really help to turn a house into a home, and the Lewis Builders team did just that with a few key elements in the living area. Custom hand-hewn wood beams play off of the vintage tongue-and-groove ceiling and stone-faced fireplace with relaxing ease, while gorgeous built-ins provide lots of added storage. A new Valor electric linear fireplace and a dedicated entertainment area truly make this room perfect for family fun nights.

Final Touches

From a primary bathroom with a handmade eight-foot vanity and 60-inch spa tub to custom wine storage, a completely made-over guest house, and a totally transformed exterior, our team was able to truly take every area we touched to the next level.

Finally, a new Tesla solar shingle roof—and electric vehicle charger—and LED lighting throughout make this green home totally self-sufficient.

This house is now the perfect place for our clients to call home as their family continues to grow. “The build quality is very high, the sub[contractors] were absolutely amazing,” they said. “I absolutely love our house!”
