This large gated estate includes one of the original Ross cottages that served as a summer home for people escaping San Francisco's fog. We took the main residence built in 1941 and updated it to the current standards of 2020 while keeping the cottage as a guest house. A massive remodel in 1995 created a classic white kitchen. To add color and whimsy, we installed window treatments fabricated from a Josef Frank citrus print combined with modern furnishings. Throughout the interiors, foliate and floral patterned fabrics and wall coverings blur the inside and outside worlds.

This generously sized home library and wine bar provides for the perfect escape after a long day for a quiet and relaxing evening at home. Gorgeous built-in bookshelves house the homeowner's expansive collection of books. A wine bar provides the convenience of not having to leave the room for a glass of wine. The hardwood throughout the room creates an environment of tranquility and warmth. Photo credit: Tom Musch

This entertainment center has it all! The built-in entertainment center cabinetry by Dura Supreme fills the back wall and surrounds the coordinating fireplace mantle. The entertainment center includes speaker door inserts to conceal and safely store the sound system speakers and other media equipment. It also houses a large, flat-screen TV. Not to mention, wall to wall storage and decorative glass cabinetry to showcase your best decor pieces.
