Hot Property: Showing respect to the classics in Noe Valley

Lana painted every surface in the building, they added a bathroom and added an au-pair studio with its own entrance on the lower level.

The brick and plaster facade of the Classical Revival home presents striking embellishments that were tenderly restored.

Gone are the kitchen’s plywood cabinets, swapped out for a Wolf range, stylish tile backsplash and bar seating at a wooden counter.

The home had inlaid hardwood flooring in the bedrooms and public rooms, so they simply matched the pattern when updating the floor in their kitchen.

Lana also took pride in keeping the original built-in gum wood cabinets on either side of the living room fireplace intact.

Lana fears one of the home’s subtle nuances — awl scratches discreetly made in the wood by an unnamed craftsman as the home was being built — would be lost to history.

An adjacent formal dining area overlooks a casual dining space and the beginning of the spacious backyard.

[...] a multilevel deck off the kitchen leads to a flagstone patio book-ended by a hot tub and an outdoor shower on opposite sides.

A trampoline and basketball court sit at the end of a brick patio, as does an open area the couple turned fallow in the drought.

In the immediate area of 24th Street, this tri-level is replete with restored finishes and enjoys a deep backyard with spa, outdoor shower, deck and brick patio.
