Set in a quiet Carlsbad neighborhood, this family home was refreshed into a warm, modern meets traditional retreat. The kitchen, largely preserved in layout, was transformed with painted cabinetry, refined hardware, upgraded appliances, a custom plaster range hood, reimagined island storage with counter seating, and a newly added coffee bar. A marble-wrapped window and sculptural countertop edge detail introduce a bespoke, elevated feel. Both fireplaces were updated by maintaining their classic moulding profiles while replacing dated tile with zellige and marble. The result is a timeless, inviting home that blends traditional character with clean, modern updates and an effortlessly elevated California spirit.
