I WANNA live there # 27

I live in a pretty incredible area - in Montreal, It's an historical neighbourhood loaded with tons and tons and tons of charm - and 20th century architecture, just steps away from the city center, it's also a pretty expensive neighbourhood ( in which I live in servants quarters basically compared to what I'm surrounded by ) 
Because there are days I don't have furniture makeovers to show you - I've chosen Wednesdays to showcase and feature one home that's for sale around here.................( or apartment - or duplex - or teepee )
Keep in mind this is in the heart of the city - so the prices reflect that  - think Manhattan - where these places would cost 3 or 4 times what they're listed for here!
On occasion I'll showcase beautiful homes in other areas - countries - continents - the one thing most of them will have have in common will be their age - because I love old homes with stories to tell, join me won't you?

Global Market here lol
I thought it would be so nice to do a post on San Francisco - a place I've always wanted to visit and haven't yet - so here goes - we're off to California everyone!!!
Both listings are in Nob Hill - and are spectacular
( and except for the views they could actually be one of the Victorian homes in my Neighbourhood that
I usually post about !!! )

Yep, think I WANNA live there....................





The view has me groaning











Privacy Terrace - what a perfect place to do yoga ( I have never done yoga in my life - but if I lived in
San Francisco - I'd start yoga - and I'd do it here every morning )
