Tucked along a quiet North Davis street, this thoughtfully curated home showcases Northern California Modernism paired with refined European remodeling. From the street, the architecture evokes the confident coastal forms more often found in Sea Ranch or Bodega Bay, with warm wood siding, crisp lines, and a sculptural concrete block pathway leading to a stained walnut and glass panel front door. Inside, wide plank European white oak floors and smooth textured walls anchor a carefully composed palette of custom finishes. The living room feels like a sanctuary, centered around an Enviro linear gas fireplace with driftwood logs and HeatShift air distribution. A sculptural Moooi pendant floats above the space while an octagonal window adds a note of whimsy. The kitchen continues the refined design with custom Downsview cabinetry, granite counters, and an Ann Sacks glass tile backsplash. A Miele hood and Euro Jenn-Air cabinet-depth refrigerator anchor the suite of appliances while peninsula seating connects the kitchen naturally to the surrounding living spaces. Nearby, the dining area introduces an elegant entertaining element with a sculptural dome fixture, custom cabinetry, and a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator for wine and beverages. The adjacent family room features custom walnut desk, cabinetry, and shelving, creating an inviting library-inspired space beside a second linear fireplace. Designed for primarily single-story living, the layout places the private suite on the main level with vaulted ceilings, pendant reading lights, custom California Closets, and sliding doors opening to a private patio retreat. The bath includes a deep soaking tub, walk-in shower with bench seating, alder cabinetry, quartz counters, and textured tile accents. Upstairs, a loft offers flexible space for an office, studio, or reading area, while additional bedrooms open to a south-facing Ipe balcony capturing sunshine and Delta breezes. The outdoor living space is exceptional, featuring a 550-square-foot custom translucent patio cover, a gas-plumbed fire bowl, and a collection of mature ornamental and fruit trees. Whether hosting friends or enjoying a peaceful evening, this backyard rises to the occasion.
