Ridge Top Modern

Nestled on a scenic ridge with sweeping views, this breathtaking home by Brad Ramsey Interiors epitomizes a harmonious blend of modernity and tradition. Tasked with marrying the contemporary preferences of the husband and the wife’s love of traditional design, the team crafted an oasis that exudes both sophistication and warmth.

To meld their styles, Brad Ramsey Interiors implemented a modern California aesthetic rooted in clean lines and a neutral palette, elevated by rich textures and organic materials. At the heart of the home lies an open floor plan living, dining, and kitchen space, unified by warm wood finishes on floors and ceilings. Strategically placed rugs and lighting delineate cozy zones, while moody cabinetry, walnut accents, and a dramatic wine wall make the kitchen a hub for entertaining. A prep kitchen, outfitted in soft blue tones and textural wallpaper, offers an understated counterpoint.

A cascading abacus-inspired light fixture of 40 luminous globes anchors the dramatic stairwell in the open living area, where an inviting nook beneath the stairs adds intimacy to the space. Upstairs, bedrooms balance tranquility and intrigue, with the primary suite stealing the show. Wrapped in walnut slatting that cleverly conceals a drop-down TV, this retreat prioritizes the panoramic views. Other highlights include a handsome office tailored to the husband’s achievements and a “bird’s nest” media room perched at the top.

The home’s connection to its surroundings is seamless. A series of cantilevered limestone pads extend over a tranquil entry water feature, leading into the home where expansive windows blur the boundaries between indoors and out. A screened-in porch provides a sheltered retreat, while an infinity pool offers a refreshing escape and stunning horizon views. Brad composed a home that is both contemporary and timeless, a retreat that reflects the clients' unique personalities and celebrates the beauty of the surrounding landscape.
