Description of the Residence
This classic 1904 Edwardian has experienced a rebirth for elegant yet relaxed City living in the 21st Century. The firms of Aleck Wilson Architects, Morris Engineering and Bradford Davis Design have collaborated in the creation of a light-filled, spacious interior environment that may be summed up in these few words: “Traditional charm and contemporary flair” with all the conveniences and comforts of modern living.
Located within walking distance of Laurel Village, Sacramento Street and the City’s most prestigious schools as well as Presidio Park for golf and recreation.
