Maybe you've traveled past this striking Bernard Maybeck mansion with a bright red front door and iron gargoyle knockers in Presidio Heights, but you've probably never been inside. Join us.

Amongst the clean and classy manors in the highly coveted neighborhood, this quirky Tudor has the trappings of castles of old, with a great hall and a living room with 20-foot high ceilings and lights hanging from gargoyles (yes, you read that right). Don't forget the fountain in the dining room, oh, and velvet handrails on the majestic staircase.

The kitchen is somewhat surprisingly, and thankfully, quite modern and fully equipped for any home chef. Through the swinging doors into the laundry room, you'll find a secret dumbwaiter hidden behind a large mirror—just one of the many surprises the flamboyant home has to offer.

Treat yourself to incredible views, of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Presidio, from all of seven bedrooms and from every floor. Hey, your mortgage will be $60,000 a month—you'll need all the calming vistas you can get.
