I am inspired by all things home. I believe your home should be your haven. Whether an elegant house in the city or a cozy cottage by the sea, the space should be curated in a way that feels like a warm welcome when you walk through the door.

Over 40 years ago when we first married, we lived in a small apartment around the corner from our current San Francisco property. It was always a dream of ours to have a home in the Marina district in San Francisco. While maintaining the integrity of its original design, we lovingly restored and updated the San Francisco Marina house. It has been a true privilege to bring this 100 year old home back to life.
Looking out at the view from the living room we are still amazed by the beauty that is San Francisco.

When our sons were growing up we would love to take them to Half Moon Bay, where they would run on the beach or go to the many farms to pick pumpkins and berries. Every year the boys would cut down the family Christmas tree. It was these memories that served as inspiration to our latest remodel.

We have thoroughly enjoyed spending the last 7 years remodeling this home by the sea. It is my hope that when you walk into The Boxwood House whether it is By City or By Sea that I have created a space for you to enjoy for the long or short term, that says welcome home.
