I've always admired this house and wished to live in a place like this. I'm surprised that there is a blog with pictures of it! :) It's a beautiful home! Beachgirlfan Wow!

Its a wonderful house, in a part of the city which most San Franciscans turn their back on...but being from Southern California, I saw it differently. You're right too about the un mcmansion...its a house which is understated, and reserved, and AD got that right when they added 1800 square feet to it too...they got the scale, and the purpose of the addition right. [<strong>Editor's note</strong>: If not for sale, can we at least stash a few spare boards in your yard for da big days!? Thanks for checking us out. Great choice on the Architects.] Sorry guys, its not for sale, but thanks for the interest.

No pretense. No silly architectural tricks trying to mimic Victorian. No tricks trying to be a Mc-mansion. It's using simple materials in an honest way, exposed rather than hiding them. There is no superfluous trim. Of course, our illustrious SF planning department can barely deal with good design such as this. This is architecture that uplifts the spirit. Now I dont want to hear any talk about flipping this and making an obscene profit. leave it alone. This is a great example of what logical, elegant modernism is all about. No pretense.
