eco+historical Downey
This 1904 Queen Anne Cottage in San Francisco's Cole Valley neighborhood underwent a Greenpoint Rated gut rehab remodel from 2008-2009. Neglected for decades, this 2BR/1BA house was lifted to add the garage shown here plus a complete lower level. Expanded to 5BR/4BA, this home retained many of its original interior and exterior details while getting all sustainable and non-toxic materials utilized throughout. Dividing the large front bedroom on the top floor into two children's bedrooms (using added dormers to increase their size), we added this child's bedroom with a lovely tree view out the front and a warm tan paint scheme to complement the ebony stained original Douglas Fir floors.
