What’s beyond that Victorian facade? Bay windows and glittering cityscapes, secret gardens and rooftop decks, original molding and wainscoting, cozy breakfast nooks and awe-inspiring staircases. San Francisco knows romance is about mystery, and you never know what you’re going to find when you pull back the curtain on one of its character-filled homes. This February, we’re exploring the neighborhoods that have stolen our hearts, starting with one of the most romantic cities in the world. We love San Francisco, from North Beach to Noe Valley.
