Palo Alto Avenue

Unparalleled views of the City and Bay were what drew Geoffrey De Sousa to this home, but it’s the stunning combination of natural materials and exquisite product selections that truly sets it apart. An interior designer and one of the owners of the showroom De Sousa Hughes, De Sousa was living in a Victorian house in the city when he found the perfect location for his dream home. Perched on top of the highest of San Francisco’s hills in Clarendon Heights, his new home has views of the city in almost every direction.
De Sousa and Mark English opened up the house to take advantage of the views and natural light, doubling the square footage and creating a crisp and clean look. He then outfitted the home with impeccable product choices to show off its clean architecture and contrast the surrounding fog.
