A Traditional for the twenty-first century, this five-bedroom Crocker Highlands home (four up and one bedroom on the main floor) and grounds were exquisitely transformed by owners, a designer and commercial architect duo. They enlisted both a renowned architect and landscape architect to comprehensively reimagine the home and park-like property, honoring its 1925 provenance. Three floors of expansive living space animated by abundant natural light express a timeless aesthetic through exceptional design, components, and surfaces. Majestic, like the overall home, the crowd-accommodating kitchen extends to walk-in and butler’s pantries and a sweeping dining-lounging expanse that opens via three sets of French doors; orbiting its massive calacatta oro island. The grand kitchen prep, serving, and storage areas integrate high-end appliances by Viking and Miele. Renovations throughout, including two bathrooms and uber-equipped and large home office connecting to the artist studio, mesh stylistically and extend to French gardens and park-like 1/4 grounds. Extensive seismic retrofitting. All floors connect to exceedingly elegant, private outdoor spaces: level lawn and trellis-topped terrace bordered by deep treescape in lieu of back neighbors, grand dining deck, and Bay-view upper deck.
