Our clients for this residence in Danville, California — an active family of six — asked for a casually elegant, yet family-friendly home for their newly blended family. The home’s classic architectural style provided a perfect background for a warm neutral interior palette, while its 7,500 feet of space, which includes five bedrooms and five baths, offered plenty of room to meet the needs of every family member.
A striking curved staircase, topped with a custom plaster chandelier and sconces, sets the tone in the front entry. White walls are grounded by warm, walnut-hued floors and dark custom cabinetry. Detailed millwork is balanced by contemporary statement lighting and a sleek concrete fireplace surround that anchors the living room. A wall of glass slides away to open the bright interior to the outdoors, overlooking a modern, 40-foot swimming pool. The family comes together in the striking white kitchen, gathering around an expansive marble island.
