This is a house nestled in a sunny corner in   Felton, California   in the Santa Cruz Mountains.  Although this is a stately  house, we kept in budget by using consistent material sizes and modular dimensions. By  being flexible with  our window dimensions we were able to afford wood clad windows  throughout the first floor and vinyl on the upper floor because we purchased many  "seconds".The character of the house is very comfortable with a combination of  traditional and eclectic styles. The floor plan is efficient and works well for daily  living and for entertaining large groups. The kitchen is large enough for several cooks  with ample room to spare for guests to mingle . The formal living room has a towering 22'  open beam ceiling and spectacular windows and a handsome fireplace.Most of the first floor  uses saltio pavers with the  a clear pine floor in the living room. The siding is a  beveled con-heart redwood that was prestained.  This project included a driveway that  used more than a100 yrds of concrete and included a 300' long driveway with up to 22%  grades.
