Summary

A completely reimagined property by designer Josh Chandler and JAC Designs, this residence transcends its original design with an architectural vision that is at once bold, inventive, and deeply livable. Expanded in 2005 and thoughtfully updated in 2010, the home embodies a contemporary/industrial farmhouse aesthetic while introducing sculptural forms, striking materials, and a curated sense of artistry.

Set behind a gated entry and tucked off the street, the 3,600± sq. ft. layout flows with remarkable openness. Light moves through vast windows, skylights, and French doors, connecting nearly every room to outdoor courtyards, patios, and gardens. The facade and interiors reveal Chandler’s signature balance of innovation and warmth: reclaimed wood, polished and glazed concrete, limestone, and custom metalwork are paired with refined cabinetry, integrated lighting, and expressive architectural lines.

The main living area with tall ceilings, anchored by a monumental European-style fireplace framed in limestone and reclaimed wood. Bespoke details—custom wire chandeliers, built-in shelving, corrugated metal accents—infuse each space with personality, while the open kitchen integrates maple cabinetry, zinc counters, and Sub-Zero appliances into a workspace that is both utilitarian and artful.

Four ensuite bedrooms, an office, studio, den, and multiple flexible rooms create an environment where practicality and beauty co-exist. Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary of light and texture, with vaulted ceilings, a spa-like bath clad in concrete and porcelain, another fireplace and French doors that open to a broad balcony overlooking the pool.

Outdoors, the design extends into landscape: olive and citrus trees, lavender, roses, and sculptural plantings frame gathering areas around a pool, spa, pergola, and fireplace. The garden pathways and courtyards echo the architectural style of the home, encouraging exploration and connection.

This residence is more than a dwelling—it is an artistic statement, where character merges with the designer’s forward-thinking vision. Private and secluded, yet just four blocks from the heart of downtown St. Helena, it offers both inspiration and ease, a home for those who value design as much as comfort.
