The Home

A studs out, roof off renovation in 2019 transformed the home into a spacious, light-filled, and timeless space for entertaining. Renovations included a roof, plumbing and seismic retrofitting.

The main level opens to a bright living and dining room with views of the bay. An updated pro kitchen features Calacatta marble counters, Thermador range, Sub-Zero wine fridge, and a custom copper sink. Through the light-filled sunroom and up a brick staircase is a landscaped garden of blooming flowers, mature Japanese maple and Italian cypress tree, all maintained by an automated watering system. The garden comes alive at night by way of string lights and dramatic uplighting under the trees.

Finishing the main level are French oak floors, a gracious bedroom with period built-ins, and a full bath. The expansive staircase to the next floor is highlighted by large picture windows that open the views to Bernal Hill while architectural skylights, one automated by remote control, wash the space in glorious sunlight.

The second level has two sunny bedrooms, one with incredible bay and sunrise views. The full bath on this level has been beautifully appointed with stylish lighting and Carrera marble heated floors.

The lower level of the home begins off the entry with a mudroom area, stackable laundry and flexible room that can work as a home office, exercise room or let your imagination decide. Finishing this level is internal access to the 1 car garage and additional storage.
