Nestled in Monterey Park, Project Isabella is a bold reinvention of California living — a full remodel with a 500 sq ft expansion that honors the home’s original character while embracing the future. Vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams nod to its roots, while a newly added primary suite and spa-style bathroom offer everyday indulgence. Step inside to solid white French Oak floors, a statement 10' quartz waterfall island, and the quiet power of fully upgraded systems — from PEX plumbing to smart home wiring. Outdoors, fresh landscaping completes the transformation, turning this once‑dated house into a fully curated modern sanctuary.
Project Details
The Isabella Remodel began with a full redesign and expansion to transform the home into a warm, elevated sanctuary while preserving its original architectural charm. The vision focused on merging modern function with timeless character through thoughtful upgrades and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Key features included:
Expanded Living Footprint: A 500 sq ft addition created a new, spa-like primary suite and bathroom, enhancing the home's livability and value.
Preserved Character: Original vaulted ceilings and exposed wood beams were meticulously maintained to honor the home’s mid-century soul.
Sophisticated Interiors: Solid white oak flooring, a 10′ quartz waterfall island, and curated finishes bring luxury and cohesion throughout the space.
Smart + Efficient Upgrades: Full PEX plumbing, a 200 amp electrical panel, new HVAC, USB-C outlets, and integrated speaker wiring bring the home up to modern standards.
Outdoor Design: New landscaping and hardscape elements create inviting outdoor living areas that match the beauty of the interior renovation.
Modern Convenience: Features like a Wi-Fi-enabled garage, smart security system, and updated appliances offer the ease of contemporary living with timeless aesthetics.

Challenge: Expanding Without Compromising Character
Adding nearly 500 sq ft for a new primary suite and bathroom meant rethinking the layout while preserving the soul of the original home.
Solution: The expansion was thoughtfully designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing structure, maintaining the vaulted ceilings and original wood beams to retain warmth and architectural integrity.
Challenge: Outdated Infrastructure
The home's original systems were aging and not up to modern standards, limiting functionality and safety.
Solution: A complete systems overhaul was implemented—new PEX plumbing, upgraded 200-amp panel, HVAC, smart outlets, and speaker wiring—bringing the entire home up to today’s efficiency and tech expectations.
Challenge: Balancing Modern Luxury With Comfort
It was important to add high-end finishes without losing the warmth and character of the space.
Solution: Timeless materials like solid white French oak flooring, custom cabinetry, and soft neutral tones created a luxurious but livable design that feels curated yet comfortable.
Challenge: Limited Views & Lack of Privacy
An overgrown tree blocked sightlines, and the yard lacked usable space and seclusion.
Solution: The tree was removed to open up west-facing views, while the entire landscape was redesigned with privacy hedges, tiered planters, and defined outdoor zones to maximize both openness and seclusion.

"From start to finish, the transformation of our home exceeded every expectation. The design preserved the soul of the house—those stunning vaulted ceilings and wood beams—while elevating everything else. The new primary suite feels like a five-star retreat, and the craftsmanship throughout is flawless. Every detail, from the French oak floors to the quartz island, feels intentional. We’ve never felt more proud to call this home. It’s truly a reflection of who we are."
