October Home of the Month
547 Hambrick Road
Say hello to the total vibe that is 547 Hambrick, home to the Visneau family since 2007! If you’ve been keeping an eye on local design, you may have seen this gem featured in Candy’s Dirt or even the 2024 White Rock Home Tour. This isn't just any home – it’s a place that mixes timeless charm with a creative, modern twist.
When Steven and Christine Visneau first moved in, they were drawn to Old Lake Highlands for its tree-lined streets and family-friendly environment.
"We’d been living in Lakewood’s Hollywood Santa Monica area, but after getting outbid, Old Lake Highlands just felt right," says Steven. "Plus, it’s so close to Hexter Elementary, which was a huge win for our kids."
“We loved the original structure, but we needed more space and a fresh layout to fit our growing family.”
The house, originally built in 1951, held a ton of charm, but by 2018, it was time for an upgrade. So, they partnered with Modern Craft to completely tear down and rebuild, crafting a new space while preserving the spirit of the original footprint.
“We added a primary suite, did a garage conversion, and even threw in a modern shed for good measure. Now, we have this incredible natural light, and the flow just works. It’s everything we dreamed of and more." says Steven.
And the design? Chef’s kiss. The renovation took just over a year, but the results were worth it.
The white walls, sparse design, steel accents, and natural wood tones give their home a laid-back, Southern California look and feel. The Visneaus have truly created a home that balances modern style with cozy comfort, turning it into a space where family memories are made and creativity flows.
“We say it’s a modern boho California bungalow.”
With the holidays approaching, you might also enjoy seeing how this home was featured in D Magazine, decorated for the season.
Thanks for sharing your story and love of design with us, Steven & Christine!
