This comprehensive residential renovation transformed a long-vacant Atascadero property into a completely reimagined custom home. After sitting unoccupied for approximately two years, the original residence was stripped back to its foundation and a single remaining wall before being extensively rebuilt. The completed 2,000-square-foot home is situated on a half-acre bluff-top property and features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an oversized two-car garage, with the new design taking advantage of the site while providing a more functional and refined living environment.
The remodeled interior incorporates a wide range of custom architectural details and finishes, including vaulted ceilings, arched soffits, a coffered dining room ceiling, carved fluted columns, crown moulding, chair rails, decorative wall niches, and carefully selected lighting. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, Corian and granite countertops, a large walk-in pantry, breakfast bar, and bay window, while porcelain tile and carpet flooring define the primary living spaces. A custom fireplace mantel with tile surround and raised hearth provides another focal point, and a separate exterior entrance offers flexibility for a potential home office.
The primary suite was designed as a private retreat with direct access to the rear yard, organized closet storage, custom dual-lavatory cabinetry, an oversized shower, and a distinctive claw-foot tub. Additional improvements include a built-in central vacuum system, custom interior paint selections, decorative millwork, and a gated property entrance. By retaining only a small portion of the original structure and comprehensively rebuilding the remainder, the project gave an underutilized property an entirely new life—combining traditional detailing, custom craftsmanship, modern amenities, and flexible living spaces within a substantially transformed residence.
