The Forchette Residence

Mt. Helix Residence

This home located on the south side of Mount Helix in La Mesa was built in 1967. It was purchased in September of 2001 and completely gutted and refurbished. The raised entry was jack hammered out and the front door lowered so that there would be no step down into the living room or dining room. The door to the master bedroom was moved to accommodate the massive entertainment center in the corner of the living room and wood floors were added throughout the living area. The master bathroom was extended out five feet to allow for a large round shower and water closet to be added.

The wall between the family room and one bedroom was opened up to make a large office area. The kitchen was completely redone with new appliances, custom cabinets and an island work area.

The patio and pool area was demolished and new slab and used brick hardscape installed with pavilion-like shaded area off the kitchen. The project took about a year to complete.
