Breathing New Life Into a 1955 Architectural Landmark

Built around 1955, this Santa Rosa home carries a history as rich as its architecture. The original owners held a private enclave they called Bonavita Heights and gifted parcels of it to the builders and tradespeople who helped shape the neighborhood. The home itself was designed to be a showcase, a testament to the craft and ambition of its builders, drafted by Lynn B. Hitchcock on the original vellum plans that still survive today.

​

Over the decades, the property fell into disrepair until the early 2000s, when its current owners saw past the neglect and recognized what the home could be again. A thorough renovation followed: new plumbing and electrical, significant backyard work, and a seismic retrofit to protect the home for generations to come. Ireko was honored to complete the story bringing the interior to life in a way that respects the home's history while making it entirely of the present.
