Peninsula Gem on the Edge - Page 2

Among the original features Monique was happy to see preserved are the white Formica countertops in the kitchen. "I was so happy the previous owners kept them," she says. "They're appealing, clean, and full of nostalgia. Yet all the contractors said 'you're going to have to rip this out.'"

Also saved were the original Thermador appliances, kitchen tile flooring, and the parquet wood floors downstairs and in the bedrooms.

Cooled by central A/C, the home features two living room areas, two gas fireplaces, a dining room with Herman Miller fixtures, an upstairs office, and an expansive, remodeled lower level. In the garage, are two Tesla charging stations.

Reviving the large, unused basement was just one of many tasks the couple took on, installing cork flooring and adding a bath for functionality.

After rehabilitation and restoration were complete, the Antons eventually came to terms with a different reality—the three-story home with more than 4,000 square feet was "a lot of house for just the two of us," admits Monique, "though it was a true labor of love."

Where will the Antons go from here? "We found another great house owned by a friend of ours," Monique says.

"But we wouldn't have changed a thing about living here [on Conil Way]," she adds. "It's been an amazing experience, and we have truly loved it. It has one of the best views I've seen in the entire Bay Area—and I've seen a lot of homes."

Here's hoping that this revived beauty attracts another modernist steward with an appreciation for its unique qualities.
