Nestled within the prestigious St. Francis Wood neighborhood, The Santa Paula House epitomizes elegance and refinement. Originally designed by Swedish architect Ivar D. Peterson in 1924 the home has been extensively re-imagined over the last three years. The design vision was to create a light-filled home that seamlessly integrates the indoor and outdoor living moments that are so quintessentially California, while elevating the technology of the house to reflect how we live today. The main floor was opened up to create a sense of space, to facilitate movement of light throughout the house and to create a natural flow with the backyard. Upstairs, skylights were added and a primary suite was designed creating a sense of calm and serenity. With meticulous attention to detail, the five-bedroom residence boasts high-end finishes and thoughtful design that seamlessly integrates interior and exterior living. The perfect balance of modern amenities with timeless architectural details creates an unparalleled sanctuary for refined living. To live in St. Francis Wood today is to be part of the City Beautiful vision faithfully developed almost 115 years ago.
