San Francisco Victorian — style reimagining

Style

San Francisco Victorian

Inspired by Butler Armsden, Geremia Design, Walker Workshop· no affiliation

Restored SF bay-window Edwardian — picture rails, original fir, modern kitchen behind.

• Preserve original picture rails, crown molding, baseboards, and ceiling medallions.
• Restore original Douglas fir or quartersawn oak floors — oil-finished, never high-gloss.
• Bay window celebrated — preserve the original window seat and proportion.
• Soft-painted millwork in Farrow & Ball Cornforth White, Elephant's Breath, or Pigeon — never bright white.

Scope

Light remodel

New paint, siding, roof, and finishes — the structure stays put.

Replace the exterior materials in the chosen style while keeping every structural element exactly. Best for solid bones with dated finishes. This is what most renovations call 'a refresh.'

Typical cost

$150K–400K
