​This 100 year old Noe Valley home was completely reimagined and refreshed to create a home for a growing San Francisco family. The front façade was updated with a smooth plaster finish and accented with siding wrapping around the modern bay windows. Clean lines, panoramic views, and an abundant natural lighting define and invigorate the interior spaces of the house.
