In the heart of Irvine, nestled within its scenic beauty, Anne and her husband John embarked on a transformative journey with their home. After a less-than-satisfactory experience remodeling their kitchen with another contractor, the couple was cautious in selecting the right team for a more extensive renovation. Their search led them to Pacific Coast Builders, Inc., highly recommended by a close friend who had experienced our commitment to quality and client satisfaction firsthand.

This project was not just about aesthetic enhancements; it was about creating a home tailored to their retirement lifestyle, designed to host family gatherings and offer daily solace. Collaborating with Valerie Saunders and her team at Serendipite Designs, we focused on spaces that married contemporary charm with coastal ease.

The renovation reimagined the home’s layout to optimize communal areas while providing tranquil private retreats. The heart of the transformation was the primary suite, which now features a spacious walk-in shower and a built-in tub set against a backdrop of soothing tones and textures. Custom double vanity in white oak and classic lighting fixtures infuse the space with an invitingly peaceful ambiance, making it a perfect daily retreat.

Character-rich bathrooms and a laundry room adorned with custom cabinetry and herringbone-patterned tile floors in a beautiful blue-grey hue further exemplify the home’s blend of style and functionality. Outdoors, the modern, motorized louvered canopy over the patio and firepit area transforms the backyard into a refreshing sanctuary ideal for enjoying Irvine’s idyllic climate.

For Anne and John, this remodel went beyond construction; it was a journey to a dream home designed for their new chapter. Every corner of the residence reflects a narrative of personal vision met with professional dedication, resulting in a home that’s not just built but thoughtfully crafted for lasting enjoyment.
