This charming abode reflects a thoughtful approach to designing a new home with a strong sense of history and permanence, an idea Corine Maggio carried through every layer of the build. Photographed by Aaron Leitz in Kentfield, California, this home offers a close look at how carefully considered architectural details and decorative elements can give a newly built home an immediate sense of depth and authenticity.

From Corine Maggio Design…Set in Kentfield, California, Woodland Manor is a new build crafted to feel as though it has stood for generations. Inspired by the romance of English cottage design, every element was meticulously considered, from the paneling and natural stone to the thoughtfully incorporated decorative vent covers.

Pattern plays a starring role throughout the home, adding both depth and charm. The guest house kitchen became an opportunity for contrast, with a moodier palette and a striking, highly veined marble that commands attention. In the bathrooms, we leaned fully into classic detailing by using vintage dressers as vanities, layering timeless tile patterns, and choosing wallpaper that feels storied yet fresh. The result is a home that is spacious and playful, deeply character-driven, and filled with moments of discovery.
