4,290 square foot 5 bedroom 4 bath Neoclassical style townhouse built in 1905. Sold for $2.5 million in 2011 ($450K under asking).

The sellers were two former Williams-Sonoma executives, Dave DeMattei and Patrick Wade who apparently lived as they worked. The interior photos reflect that very distinctive overstuffed Williams Sonoma style.

My remodel 
At the time I toured this property, I was embarking on a kitchen remodel in an 1885 Victorian. What perfect timing because I absolutely fell in love with and stole the upper shelves no cabinets concept.

Open shelving can be pretty risky business in San Francisco due to our earthquake problem, but I thought it was worth the risk. So much so that I did it again in my newest remodel, this time in a mid-century high-rise.
