The top three goals were to open up the layout, form a deeper connection to the outdoors and update the interiors to accommodate modern living while honoring the original characteristics. &#8220;The existing stair was the main challenge,&#8221; says Verner. &#8220;It was steep, narrow and located in the front of the living room. We guessed that this was a former hay or maintenance access hatch converted into something passing as a stair. Finding a new location for a stair to connect all three floors within the existing envelope of this historic home was the primary design challenge.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"812\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-812x1024.jpg\" alt class=\"wp-image-97618\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-812x1024.jpg 812w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-768x968.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980.jpg 952w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 812px) 100vw, 812px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"812\" height=\"1024\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20812%201024%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt class=\"wp-image-97618 lazyload\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20812%201024%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 812w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 812px) 100vw, 812px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-812x1024.jpg 812w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-238x300.jpg 238w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-768x968.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980.jpg 952w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.californiahomedesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/06A8980-812x1024.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The butler&#8217;s pantry is color-drenched in a mustard yellow and features a faucet by Rohl.
