A Seamless Transformation: From Modest House to Elegant Hillside Retreat
The Cashmere home, once a modest 1990s plaster house, has been completely transformed into a sleek, contemporary cedar-clad retreat that perfectly embodies the essence of relaxed hillside living. The change is dramatic from the street, but it’s inside where the true comfort and style emerge.
For Tania and Dominic, the renovation process was remarkably seamless. “Working with Daryl and Tara was a great experience,” says Dominic. “They really took ownership of the project and made sure the home was everything it could be—almost as if it were their own.” Thanks to clear communication and expert guidance, the couple felt completely confident, even while renting elsewhere and only visiting the site occasionally. “Daryl’s team made the building process stress-free. Everything was straightforward from the beginning,” Dominic adds.
The final result exceeded their expectations. “We wanted a high-end, elegant home, and this is more than we could have hoped for. It’s even better than we imagined,” Tania says. Both especially love the kitchen, the warmth of the cedar detailing, and the flexibility of the two living areas. At night, the city views, combined with the glow of the fireplace and subtle LED lighting, create what Dominic describes as “the perfect place to relax.”
