What once felt like a series of separate rooms now lives as one cohesive, light-filled space. This renovation transformed a confined kitchen and underused formal dining room into a central hub for daily life — complete with custom cabinetry, improved layout flow, and backyard views. Walls were removed, circulation improved, and smart storage added, all while staying true to the homeowners’ love of natural light and simple, purposeful design. The result is a more connected first floor, where the kitchen, dining, and sitting areas now feel naturally linked and effortless to live in.

Originally built in 1929 and designed by famed architect Albert Farr who was responsible for the Wolf House that was built for Jack London in Glen Ellen, this building has always had tremendous historical significance. In keeping with tradition, the new design incorporates intricate plaster crown moulding details throughout with a splash of contemporary finishes lining the corridors. From venetian plaster finishes to German engineered wood flooring this house exhibits a delightful mix of traditional and contemporary styles. Many of the rooms contain reclaimed wood paneling, discretely faux-finished Trufig outlets and a completely integrated Savant Home Automation system. Equipped with radiant flooring and forced air-conditioning on the upper floors as well as a full fitness, sauna and spa recreation center at the basement level, this home truly contains all the amenities of modern-day living. The primary suite area is outfitted with floor to ceiling Calacatta stone with an uninterrupted view of the Golden Gate bridge from the bathtub. This building is a truly iconic and revitalized space.
