Redwood City Redux
Whole-House Remodel and Expansion
Modernize
New Functionality & Appeal
The original 1951 residence, totaling 990 square feet, was fully gutted and expanded on three sides. The kitchen was opened to the dining area and enlarged, while the living room was relocated to the rear of the house within a new, tall addition that establishes an open, continuous flow from the front of the home.

Total Refresh
New Finishes, Fixtures, and Building Systems
All finishes throughout the home were replaced to create a contemporary atmosphere. New wood windows add warmth to the interiors, while artisan tile and modern light fixtures introduce texture and character. Ceilings were raised where possible, and skylights were introduced at the center of the plan to bring daylight deep into the home.

Modern Baths
Elegant, Functional, and Low-Maintenance 
Large-format porcelain tile in the bathrooms provides durable surfaces with minimal grout joints, reducing maintenance and simplifying cleaning. Energy-efficient LED lighting is used throughout, while floating vanities offer ample storage with a clean, contemporary presence that is both functional and easy to maintain.

Expanded Volumes
Reimagined Living Spaces and Private Retreats
At the rear of the house, a new living room with a vaulted ceiling replaced a former, undersized primary suite, which was relocated to a new addition adjacent to the living space. Large sliding doors connect the living room to a patio with built-in seating and a fire table. The new primary bedroom also features a vaulted ceiling that echoes the living room addition and overlooks a serene rock garden, while the two additional bedrooms were enlarged to improve comfort and functionality.

Before Photos
Originally, the living and dining areas shared a single space at the front of the house, while the kitchen was separate and landlocked at the center of the plan. All three bedrooms were undersized, and a low-ceilinged bonus room adjacent to the kitchen further limited light, openness, and functionality.
