Located in the center of San Anselmo, California, our renovation of this 1906 home strikes the perfect balance between historic charm and modern comfort for a young family.
The detailed millwork, featuring graceful moldings and custom cabinetry, adds a layer of timeless elegance that honors the home’s history while embracing a more contemporary style. We chose living finishes that would patina with time and thoughtfully selected historic paint colors to maintain the home’s character and warmth.
By opening the wall between the kitchen and living area, we improved the flow and function for everyday family life and an ideal space to entertain. In keeping with the home’s historic feel we opted for a cased opening to give a bit of separation and an opportunity for the beautiful millwork details to shine.
One of the project’s highlights is the transformation of the old porch into a sunroom, complete with custom built-in seating. This inviting space is perfect for entertaining, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience.
By blending historical charm with modern needs, we’ve created a warm and inviting home that invites a new generation to enjoy its story while making their own memories.
