Located high up on a hill in the San Francisco neighborhood of Ashbury Heights, this townhouse has wonderful views. The bachelor client works in the medical devices industry and entertains professionally and socially on a regular basis. Furnishings in the living and dining areas were kept to a minimum to accommodate large group circulation. A new fireplace constructed of Portugese limestone was designed to replace a slate tile fireplace. The large mirror above it opens up the two-story space. A clean contemporary look with a soft edge effectively updates this home, and the client finds the interior very calming and comfortable.
