Restoration Details

The original footprint of the home was preserved in the middle floor of the current home, with the exception of the bay windows in the living room, kitchen and family room. The coffered ceilings and windows in the entry foyer and dining room, as well as the built-in cabinets in the dining room and the two claw foot tubs in the children's rooms are also original. Consulting on the remodel was Kenneth Cardwell, retired Professor of Architecture, U.C. Berkeley and renowned historical expert on Bay Area Craftsman design.
