Nestled into a quiet court in the highly favored Almaden Valley, this three-story home underwent a comprehensive renovation that included structure layout changes, adding sq footage and modern mid century aesthetics. Since moving out is a must during a whole home remodel, these San Jose natives needed a Design- Build firm they could fully trust. May Construction teamed up with amazing designer Amanda Giles to deliver a more functional space consistent with their style.

A pristine walnut entry door opens into the main level great room. A jaw dropping kitchen, family room and behind a wallpapered hidden door, sits a small addition giving the needed square footage for a stylish office. The grand 15 ft kitchen island takes advantage of the open space in the center of the room.  Drenched in tropical storm granite, features luxurious double water fall edges on both ends,  ample seating, massive countertop space  to entertain and with built in appliances, this show stealing island  quickly became the go-to spot.

Well planned design effortlessly provides a room full of focal points. Open shelving lighting provides a subtle glow and compliments the attractive Giffoni Walnut cabinets and full wall tiled backsplash.  Well-crafted wooden accents flood the ceiling, mantle, dividing wall and striking barn door barn that glides across a slat wall dying right into the new patio door, Its size and placement  completely unites the kitchen with the patio. Large format, low maintenance porcelain tile and mixture of wood flooring is the perfect compromise between aesthetics and ability to stand up to foot and paw traffic. This loving family spends most of their free time fostering disabled pooches, so many amenities during this San Jose remodel had our furry friends in mind. 

An organized and operational multi-use space now fills the basement level. A Built-in shelving unit  now help keep toys contained, while the pull-down murphy bed offers guests a comfortable and intentional space to sleep when visiting and is easily foldable when not in use. The new electric fireplace and bold funky powder bathroom complete this multi-functional level.

The upper bedroom level is complete with not one suite but two. The master and new guest suite were styled to perfection, floating vanities, walk-in showers and gold flaked wall paper prove that comfort was the key to fine design.
