Seascape Custom Remodel
This was a major home remodeling project completed at a 30 year old residence located on the Seascape Golf Course in the Rio Del Mar neighborhood of Aptos.
The owners had lived in the home for several years and were interested in opening up the closed off kitchen floor plan so that it could be a more integral part of the family room and offer views out to the adjacent golf course. This plan required that a bearing wall be replaced by a structural header beam which we installed flush with the existing ceiling to keep the sight lines nice and clear. New foundation footings were installed to support the header support posts which were concealed in the wall cavities. This resulted in a much more open and expanded kitchen floor plan and included space for a new prep island with sink. The new design also included seating at a raised countertop bar which faced into the kitchen area.
For finish surface selections, we accompanied the owners to several local sources where they selected new granite countertop material. This was installed on custom designed and locally built hardwood cabinetry. New porcelain backsplash tile with feature accents were installed to compliment the countertops. New stainless steel appliances, plumbing fixtures, all new recessed and drop pendant lighting, a kitchen skylight and new tile flooring throughout completed the kitchen remodel.
In addition to the kitchen remodeling, the project also included framing and modifications at a nearby closet to create space for a new guest bathroom on the second floor which featured a travertine vessel sink.
An office space adjacent to the kitchen was altered through the addition of a new set of multi-pane French Doors which allowed the owners to separate that space from the kitchen when necessary.
Our work was completed by the repair and complete refinishing of the second story hardwood floors, installation of new wood baseboards and a full re-painting of the project areas.
