Push open the wrought iron gates and through the mahogany front door of this Georgian-style mansion built in 1902 and find the grandest of staircases (it's just for show—there's an elevator), polished hardwood floors and a whole lot of art (no, you can't keep it).
Priced at $18 million, this home is, naturally, about extreme excess: The kitchen has two dishwashers for your entertaining needs; there's an outdoor amphitheater for when you and your drunk friends put on a play; and the downstairs living room is a leopard print bonanza. This is all not to mention the library with floor-to-ceiling shelving for your rare and antique books; the fully-equipped outdoor kitchen; and the upstairs living room with an insane view to Marin.
With so much space, you'll really never have to be in the same room as another human being ever again. You might while away the hours sitting on the deck and cracking open dusty vintages from the 1,500-bottle, temperature-controlled wine cellar, or maybe just spend your days playing dress-up in the walk-in closet. There are also staff quarters, you know, for that butler you definitely have.
Imagine long walks through the Shakespeare Garden in Golden Gate Park (only two blocks away), NBA Finals parties with the Warriors on the big screen in the backyard amphitheater, and steaks sizzling on the barbecue. If you're interested in living in the most prestigious neighborhood in San Francisco, this is the palatial post-up for you.
