"1893 Victorian mansion"

Live graciously in this charming 1200 sq' garden flat in a spectacular 1893 Victorian mansion, fully furnished with beautiful period antiques. The four spacious, elegant rooms -- 1 bedroom/1 bath -- feature hardwood floors, a working fireplace, and three bay windows. Built on a level lot backing up to acres of park-like woodland, the mansion combines sophisticated city elegance with the pleasures of a country estate. The gardens feature wisteria climbing to the second story, a rose-covered gate, a clematis arbor, huge hydrangeas, century-old camellias, lots of roses, rosemary, honeysuckle, lavender, and flowers all year round. You get a very large, very comfortable apartment with a private garden and patio for less than most hotels charge for an ordinary room! Do the math -- it's the best value for money in the San Francisco Bay Area.

• The front parlor or living room features hardwood floors, elaborate original moldings, pocket doors, and two bay windows overlooking two different flower-filled gardens. It's furnished with a down-filled camelback sofa (makes into a queen-size bed), silk-upholstered wingback armchair, lyre-base game table, a magnificent antique oval partners' desk plus an Eastlake cameo desk chair, and an Aubusson carpet.

• The back parlor/ formal dining room offers one bay window, a working fireplace, built-in cabinets, hardwood floors, all original moldings, and a wonderful antique hand-painted ceiling mural. It's furnished with a round table (seats 4), an intricately- carved Victorian armchair, a comfortable loveseat, and an Aubusson carpet.

• The eat-in kitchen features a professional-style stainless steel gas range, microwave, toaster, coffeemaker, full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, and garbage disposal plus a huge pantry. It's furnished with a table and chairs, three sets of dishes, flatware, and stainless steel cookware. One kitchen door opens onto a large, flower-filled, hedge-enclosed brick patio; the other opens onto a view into acres of sun-dappled woodland and a winter waterfall

• The quiet bedroom has a large walk-in closet, a 6-drawer dresser, a separate shoe closet that would delight the heart of Imelda Marcos, and pale plush carpet. It's furnished with a highly romantic queen-size cast-iron-and-brass bed and a charming pair of antique French balloon-back boudoir chairs.

• The split bath has his-and-hers mirrors, full tub and shower, and a sit-down vanity with a triple mirror. Oversize spa-type rub-down towels provided.

FREE OFF-STREET PARKING • FREE CABLE TV/VCR/DVD • FREE WASHER/DRYER • FREE LOCAL TELEPHONE CALLS • EASY ACCESS: PARK AT THE DOOR, NO STAIRS, LEVEL LOT
