San Andreas Fault inspires remodeling

The 5-acre parcel overlooking Bolinas Lagoon essentially sits atop the San Andreas Fault, inspiring a bifurcated design from Leddy. “It’s a sculptural expression of the fault line,” said Leddy, referring to separate sloping steel rooftops connected by horizontal beams. Invasive plantings choked the landscape and a Chinese suede carpet covered a stamped concrete floor. The Bradfords hired Leddy to construct an Ipe deck to complement the existing infinity edge saltwater pool installed by a previous owner. A great room with floor-to-ceiling windows and maple flooring commands most of the home’s square footage. At the center of the great room stands a kitchen with custom maple cabinets and a bar with built-in seating. The kitchen’s cabinets stretch reach the voluminous ceiling but are left intentionally short to maintain the feeling of openness. On one end rests a dining area warmed by a fireplace built into the cabinetry. The opposite side of the great room houses a living area opening to a concrete patio overlooking the lagoon, pool and deck. “You’ve got floor-to-ceiling windows on two sides of the great room overlooking the lagoon, but the way the room is set up, you still feel cozy,” she said. Located on the opposite end from the main entrance, the terrace uses its striking views to entice after-dinner guests out for a nightcap. The irregularly shaped master bedroom accesses the deck off the view terrace and includes maple built-ins. The Hunts hate to leave the home after less than three years of owning it, but they are returning to their hometown of Santa Fe. The home includes a terrace off the dining room and abundant views of Bolinas Lagoon.
