The son and grandson of notable real estate developers, broker Paul Iantorno is backed by four generations of experience in the San Francisco property market. Working with Golden Properties, Paul Iantorno manages a real estate portfolio with a number of renovated historic homes, including residences dating back to the Edwardian era.
The majority of American Edwardian houses were built between the late 1800s and early 20th century. Edwardian houses can sometimes be confused with Victorian era homes, due to their overlapping time periods and shared elements. However, Edwardian homes can be distinguished by the combination of more refined embellishments, natural materials, and asymmetrical architectural features.
Homes from this era are commonly two stories high with exteriors made from wood and brick and have steep roofs and intricately-accented porches. The interiors have high ceilings, wide hallways and staircases, and elegant decorative windows.
Renovated Edwardian homes retain the charming characteristics that are popular with contemporary buyers while addressing some of their common issues, such as poor heating and cooling systems and weak foundations.
