This Cape Cod beauty was designed by GDC Construction, located in Bird Rock, a seaside neighborhood within the larger community of La Jolla in San Diego, California. The family wished to bring Cape Cod charm to California, while integrating a modern twist on the classic Cape Cod design. In addition to being a custom-built home, an important element of this project was creating a structure that was harmonious with the vision of interiors studio Amber Interiors.
The interiors of this home has a slight, laid-back bohemian vibe, which compliments the clean lines and classic elegance of the Cape Cod-style design for the exterior. Three types of wooden siding, a metal standing-seam roof and a stunning hardwood deck compliments the simple white finish of the exterior. On the interior, every space features traditional crafts mixed with modern flourishes — from the tongue and groove paneling to the wide plank oil-finished hardwood flooring.

What We Love: This beautiful Cape Cod style home offers a bright and spacious floor plan with stylish design details. A chic Boho vibe adds an inviting and playful touch to the interiors of this home. The master bedroom and bathroom are a dreamy oasis, so inviting to retreat to at the end of a long day… and that soaking tub, yes please! So many fantastic details in this home!
