When Leah Bradley’s good friend, carpenter Kyle Titterud (stillehome), gave her the inside scoop on a fixer-upper he recently purchased, her interest was piqued right away. The charming 1965 ranch home—in mostly original condition—is sited on just over an acre of land, and the idyllic landscape was an immediate draw for leahpbradley. “The road that leads to the driveway is lined with fruit trees and friendly horses peering over their fences,” she says. “I instantly fell in love with the land and views.” The two-bedroom, two-bathroom home—totalling just under 1,700 square feet—already had a good layout with the living room and each of the bedrooms clustered around an interior courtyard. “While the footprint stayed the same, by adding new windows and opening up walls, we were able to create a whole new flow and endless views from every part of the home,” Leah explains. She also decided to go with darker wood hues for the interior—a departure from her previous projects. Serendipitously, the duo had found a large fallen walnut tree on the property of their previous project, and they salvaged enough timber to make all of the cabinet fronts and closet doors, a custom bench, a built-in media unit, and panels for the living room walls. Even though Leah won’t be living in the revamped rancher (“I had to convince myself I couldn’t move in!” she says), the property still felt like home as her kids played in the pool and ran through the groves picking oranges.
