St. Francis Wood | San Francisco
195 Santa Ana Ave
Fully Detached, Set in Manicured Gardens: California Living in the Woods Set on a corner lot and fully detached, this innovative renovation in the spirit of the original home is as pioneering today as it was in 1949 when Henry Gutterson designed this luminous California Dream home. Infused with light, warm natural materials in a powerfully livable floorplan, this Dwell Magazine worthy modernization by mid-Century specialist John Klopf results in a one of a kind home. Unique to this serene, classic neighborhood, designed for a family of collectors, the home benefits from the aesthetic point of view of its art-collector owners as well as the inspiration of its midcentury roots.
