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.

This post is somewhat of a departure for me as there are no interior glam shots. Well actually there are interior glam shots, but the designer has exerted copyright control over the photos. But, that's OKAY because the real scoop has nothing to do with the designer aesthetics or the resulting ultramodern decor.

This is a renovation story that pulls back the curtain giving a rare glimpse into what happens when a developer or in this instance, a group of developers get caught allegedly committing a dizzying array of building violations.

2820 Scott St, Cow Hollow

Grand Entry during 2006 renovations
Currently featuring 7 bedrooms and 11 baths, marble stairs, 7 fireplaces, a Tiffany glass skylight, 5 marble terraces, 6 bronze balconies and an elevator.

16K square foot historically significant Cow Hollow Italianate c. 1905. Once known as the Pink Palace due to its roseate palette, a color chosen by its original owners.

It remained pink until 2004 when the "fixer" mansion sold and underwent extensive interior renovations. In 2008, the property was chosen as the San Francisco Decorator Showcase house. The completed home represented the work of 30 local designers, each of whom was assigned to a small part of the home.

Subsequent to a 1951 sale the Pink Palace was transformed into a grand 23 room “residence club”. With its panoramic Bay views and ornate original details, it drew a colorful cross section of wealthy residents who returned often to attend legendary cocktail parties.
