| Casa Tranquilo |
|
| This spectacular Holcombe Home is nestled in the covenant land of Rancho Santa Fe. It sits on 2.5 acres of tree-filled land, including award-winning gardens, simultaneously offering privacy and the benefit of being within walking distance to the town center and the elementary school. Complementing the Southern California climate, this home offers many indoor and outdoor areas. The home has three bedrooms, four full bathrooms, a powder room, a library, a family/game room, a living room, a kitchen, a butler's pantry, a dining room, and a wine room. There is also a laundry room and an office (or exercise room) off the kitchen patio, overlooking the swimming pool, a two-car garage, and a golf cart garage. |

|
| The Casa Tranquilo residence is a 1945 adobe home that has been completely remodeled. We brought the home up to date, yet still kept the charm and soul of the original structure. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Most of the original adobe was in excellent condition even after half a century; a testament to the sound construction principles which are largely forgotten in today's modern houses. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Thick walls are the norm in this home: some 12 inches thick, others 16 inches thick. All of them give the home a solid feel. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Wherever possible, the ceilings, once about 8.5 feet high, have been raised. The living room features a wood ceiling towering 11 feet high, just like in the dining room and the outdoor living room, and these are equipped with giant beams and corbels. |
|
|
|
|
|
| Casa Tranquilo is a handmade home. The floor tiles were all handmade. The walls were hand-plastered and hand-troweled inside and out. The countertops all have handmade tiles or cut stone. |

|
|
| There is a fireplace in each living room, in the master bedroom, in the library, and in each family room. |
|
|
|
|
|
| The kitchen/cooking area, the kitchen patio, and the outdoor kitchen each have a fireplace as well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The original floor tile has been left in place where possible and refinished. Many of the original doors and windows have been reworked and are either being used in their original locations or in new places, instead of replacing them with modern windows or doors. |

| The gardens feature extensive paths that meander about the property. |
|
|
|
|
|
| There are orange, lime, lemon, and avocado trees. Roses and lillies, trees, flowers, and bushes everywhere. There is a tall magnolia in the garden that blooms with the most magnificent flowers. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Near the swimming pool there's a giant plumeria that blooms in the spring and summer, and on the east of the property, a rose garden. |

|
| Everything that can make a home truly yours, we can design and build. You can rest assured that we will build for you the perfect living experience, designed and created just for you. |
