HOUSE TOUR | An Expansive Victorian Townhouse in San Francisco

[@thomashirschy7649]

Sonny needs his own show, I love his passion for his home. And his home is stunning.

[@dolcevitausa6448]

Stunning home... As a native San Franciscan, I have a great appreciation for the fact the home was updated but has stayed true to itself. Thank you for showcasing this lovely home here in the city.

[@ainenilaoire]

Oh my! What a sympathetic update. Your home is delightful. ❤

[@LenaMMcKee]

Hey I'm a native too!

[@pamelahitchcock4687]

You AND your house are absolutely delightful! Thank you for sharing!

[@MERIDETH-u8r]

It makes me so happy when someone genuinely preserves a home instead of just ripping it apart for sake of modern! good job. Love it

[@jadktimeless2831]

Thanks A Lot Homeworthy For Your Series.Please Keep The Same Music Jazz Playing And The Same Entire, It's Your Trade Mark ❤

[@dusty1754]

I could listen to this bloke all day. Lovely home, both refined and quirky - just like its owner.

[@susanmulvey6311]

Beautiful home, but I really enjoyed the young gentlemen’s wonder wit while he was taking us through his home! Also, LOVE that he LOVES his dog, so much that the dog lays on very expensive chairs and sofa! 🐶❤️ I won’t criticize your Murano addiction, because they’re all too stunning to criticize! 😉

[@kgalvin7503]

Long time San Franciscan resident here. This man is my spirit animal. Thank you for cherishing and preserving this home in a manor befitting its grandeur.

[@leslieshatkin707]

I need to let you know that I have watched this tour at least 100 times. I know that sounds crazy. Yes it’s the perfect home and the excellent explanation of everything is so edifying but it’s also this beautiful person and his lovely delivery. I’m in love with him. I’m in love with his partner whom I don’t know. I’m in love with his home. I’m in love with his animals. I feel like he invited us into his sacred space with an openness and kindness that is apparent in every word he says. I’m in love with his spirit. I’m in love with his joy. I’m in love with his humility. I am having a little bit of a rough time right now and this kind handsome person telling us all (and make no mistake. We are all going through something right now) about this beautiful home and giving us non-pedantic lessons in architecture and design and everything else is warming the heart of many of us for sure. I would like to suggest that you possibly give him his own series on Homeworthy. I heard him mention that he does a lot of mid-century modern designs and revivals. Wouldn’t it be nice to have him tell us about his projects? I love Home worthy and many of your tours. You have many great people giving us wonderful tours of their home, but this man has star quality written all over him.❤️

[@clarehart5892]

Years ago, I was a design student at UC Davis and we studied Murano, so it was interesting to hear Sonny mentioning Murano during the tour. This viewing was rather lengthy but there were so many interesting details that I had to put off taking care of things I needed to do in order to view the entire video. It was worth it. I'm glad that Sonny showed the one cabinet in the bedroom that was a little cluttered. "Ah," I thought, "he is human." The place, otherwise, was immaculate.

[@bmindful1888]

GORGEOUS home and such a sweet homeowner ! No pretension just shows his love for the home with its beautiful curated style.

[@marionandrews176]

One of the most stunning homes on this channel, as well as one of the best hosts. He is funny and pointed out the interesting aspects of his home. Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Oh, in regard to Feng Shui, you should not have a mirror opposite your front door, but yours looks beautiful.

[@brokgrl85]

Sonny is hilarious and is a great presenter. I love how he adjusted and forwent his personal style preference to what the house is to save its history. Many people need to do - focus on what the house and year it was built and go from there.

[@karenstanislaw8912]

Would have loved to see the kitchen.. What a gorgeous structure. The scale of the windows and interior doors, passageways, molding and details - pure dynamite . Victorian places like this are always complicated, fascinating, and ode to the regal.

[@annjohnson8437]

I was hoping to see the kitchen, too. Gorgeous home! ❤

[@brooklynnygarden]

What a lovely man! Wonderful guide through his beautiful home that although refined is quite well lived in! 😍🤩

[@gofcheshire3869]

Hats off to you my good sir for such a sophisticated and elegant home ! 😊

[@cesespiritu6208]

I’ve watched a lot of featured houses on this channel, and this is far and away my favorites. Even when his pieces are of course rare and likely expensive, it doesn’t seem unattainable. I LOVE his humor, authenticity and approach to design. He inspires me to improve my current home and decor, without intimidating me. Great Host, I’d love to see more content from him! 💜

[@elizabethzapac3203]

What a great storyteller!! Several times during this video I have actually laughed out loud, he is fabulous!

[@carolynratliff1380]

Omg….this home is fantastic….the light on the stairs, the skylight, the niche in the hall is all to die for….the home is as gorgeous as he is….love love love his beautiful voice….Thankyou for sharing with us….I want to visit San Francisco one day….hugs carolyn from Columbus Georgia

[@maddiek1980]

The murano glass is out of this world. Every piece is stunning.

[@nicolerodgers8611]

I love this man and his home! He’s charming and relatable and the mix of high / classic design with modern accessible chain store pieces is so well done. I feel the love he has for the house and he was meant to be the new steward of this property. How refreshing.

[@shanacrous2214]

Wonderful home. What a lovely owner & his bulldog.

[@pinkpoodle7100]

I love Victorian architecture! I truly enjoyed this home with its unique furnishings and an abundance of history! The owners comforting voice adds to the beauty of this great home tour!❤️

[@sharonkaysnowton]

Sonny Kearns I love your planter in the window- it is very unique. In his living room I love the wall paper. It is a "live" painting. You have inspired me to go bold with wall paper in my living room. I love the dark brown doors. In the bed room, I love the wall paper behind the bed. It looks like a living tree. I love the Fortuni silk chandeliers. I love the bone inlay chair in their bedroom. I love the fire place with the built in mirror in their bedroom. I love the skylight in the second hallway. Sonny and Zach have a beautiful home. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@elizabethzapac3203]

I’m in love, lol! The host’s dry wit is so incredibly charming! So funny! What a great sense of humor😂 Absolutely beautiful pieces, particularly the Murano! What a great episode!

[@kathleenmathews6096]

It was as a joy for me to spend this time listening to you as you share your lovely home. Thank you.

[@carolynratliff1380]

I forgot to tell you that I LOVE YOUR SHOES……love that little speaker to the kitchen…it’s like Downton Abbey….your bedroom is fantastic……I’m going to put a sofa in my master too….Thankyou again for sharing with us…hugs carolyn from Columbus GA

[@NancyHoward-p6e]

Awesome! Watched every second. Great home, great narration, great guy!

[@sandranorth8362]

Fabulous home and host. The Brits are so articulate and tend to appreciate historic architecture more than Americans. Good on him for preserving this gem. Makes me miss my former SF home with the same inlaid floor pattern as his bedroom.

[@renatasalo9250]

He is lovely and I could listen to him speak for hours. Great taste and feel for the home

[@lightworks3172]

Took me a whole minute to recognize him from his social media. I was able to recognize him once you teased the still of the bedroom. Pictures just don't capture how incredible this home is the way this video tour does.

[@susanmark2000]

I lived in SF from 1973 to 1989. Like this lovely gentleman, I loved to walk around, look at the wonderful old homes and wonder who lived in them. So many have been gutted to renovate them. Thank goodness this jewel box is still with stewards who will treasure it for what it offers and gently renovate and rejuvenate it. I look forward to a future tour when the kitchen is done and other rooms too. I would also love to see the garden. I marched with Harvey Milk. I love thinking of him here, back in the day. I also imagine that the seller has a very interesting background in the LGBT community, and having planted that Redwood tree and watching it grow. If the walls could talk! I also worked at a children's center for part of my time in SF that was right around the corner from the painted ladies so I imagine I must have laid eyes on this beauty during that time in my life. I am not sixty-nine years old.

[@sherrierichard2848]

What a delightful and passionate conservatoire! A decorator with an edge that has been kept in a tasteful balance. I live in SF and really appreciate his dedication to preservation. My condo, not home, is a 1907 and still has knob and tube wiring! Did you replace all the electrical wiring? The carriage house in the back was turned into a modern unit😟. George Mascone was raised in that carriage house! The builder was an Italian owner who built our place and the one next door. His daughter who lived in that home, recently died. She had a poster of her dad, who is an original owner of Sunset Scavenger!! Love the SF histories too. ❤😊

[@biblianabovery4092]

Ahh, I miss The City! and the architecture. What a beautiful home and a charming owner. He is so funny!

[@julia2023skyyy]

Love the place so beautiful and love his personality and how soft-spoken he is 🫶🏾

[@heronhouse2018]

San Francisco has some of the most beautiful old vics, this one is absolutely stunning!

[@bradpaul8576]

Bravo Sonny! I enjoyed this so much it was nearly sinful!

[@danaaya1856]

I’m a fellow Murano collector as well. Adore your pieces! 💕

[@aynneSF]

I’m fairly certain I visited this home when it was for sale. The skylight and the upstairs were so memorable. I’m so glad someone is taking such good care of this beautiful home with its incredible history. If it’s the home I’m thinking of, it has a very strong connection to the LGBT community history and the saving of the single family homes in the neighborhood.

[@greenphoenix687]

What a talented guide. He told a beautiful story of his home and the collections within it.

[@rubychew6535]

The green chandelier makes the room pop. This is beautiful home, and the colors don't dominate the house.

[@Rajah-qv7rg]

This has to one of the best, if not the best episode of Homeworthy! Not only is the house fibulas but so is the owner. What an articulate, knowledgeable and delightful man! Love the shoes too. 😉

[@NA-rc5me]

The house is stunning………and so is he😍😍😍😍😍

[@loripowell7654]

No comment about his tight pants???

[@rileyoftheweak8310]

I enjoyed listening to him tell the story about his Italian home. History of every room. Amazing job done. I look forward to seeing their kitchen remodel. Thank you for sharing. I really love what you have done with your home. It's about both of them. Especially the cigar room. Meetings that reflect their lives. 🏳️‍🌈

[@cindyenglert.az51]

What a beautiful transformation of this house yet keeping so many old artistic pieces of the original home. Just beautiful!

[@pammy-bateman1327]

It's rare for me to invest in a long video like this one, (I have ADD) but this gentleman was so so engaging and he has restored and decorated his home so beautifully ❤❤

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Beautiful building. I am so glad it found itself in worthy hands. Thank you for the video!

[@FebrithDarkstar]

What a charming man and a lovely presentation of his beautiful home:)

[@lorenamelghem9326]

Beautiful home, I love the appreciation of all the details, the history of the home and honoring it's past. ❤😊

[@camuchanomellini903]

The Sky light on the upper floor is stunning!🤩 The three little Murano mirrors next to the orchid is just a beautiful touch 💖

[@susanphend2189]

This is a wonderful video and the owner did such a great job narrating his stunning home. I agree that those shoes need to be seen! They're fabulous! ❣

[@Estee.Ar.6869]

Thank you for the tour. House is gorgeous!

[@all9115]

❤❤❤❤❤one of the most stunning victorian homes i have seen on youtube! Thank you for touring us....omg i juz stepped back in time for a while

[@maddiek1980]

The way he’s thoughtfully mixed eras is inspiring and something I’m trying to do (in my case due to budget constraints).

[@GinaBuffum-x4c]

Great home, great host/narrator. That shoe comment had me laughing out loud.

[@kathyferrara]

Thank you Sonny for sharing your stunning home- love all the Murano and the beautiful mural wallpaper. You’re a charming host ❤

[@lindaortolano7837]

Just beautiful!! I hope we visit again when the kitchen is completed!!

[@marial5198]

Marvelous home! Thank you so much for the splendid tour. So captivating. So much beauty. 😊😊

[@CharisseKenionYT]

This was one of my favourite videos of yours ever! Beautiful home that feels homely and super stylish. What a treasure to live in. Also, I'm guessing he hasn't lived in the East End for a long time from his accent!

[@AnonyMous-kd5iz]

Beautiful home and an incredibly charming host!

[@claudiamann7111]

Incredible home and host. Loved all the history. I think my favorite chandelier is the one in the office. That green is just stunning. Love the intercom system. So happy that the architecture is still intact. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@starr6465]

I LOVE this BEAUTIFUL HOME, its easy to understand why he Truly Loves his Home. Wonderful Presentation. TUFS

[@kimberlyshearer6299]

Beautiful home and the homeowner has done an exquisite job of filling it with lovely pieces. Very personable, as well! On a different note…as a direct descendant of Mary Stuart, it was a fun surprise to see her portrait. 😍

[@elizabethzapac3203]

I love the 3-D tennis court art piece so much!

[@catharineselph8208]

Well done, my friend. You have genius-level style and I'm so happy for the house that you are there!

[@staedel78]

Absolutely gorgeous! When money and taste come together ❤️‍🔥

[@sheilaadams5310]

One of the best home tours-interesting design advice, a most delightful homeowner and a stunning home…

[@SusanLeverentz]

Thank you for sharing your lovely home. You are so gracious and encouraging! Am emerging from a years-long and at times disastrous home renovation. Your reminder that it’s ok to pause and let the design emerge was exactly what I needed to remember.

[@mariaoshoko8289]

I'm an elder, African American woman. I must say that your design, home, and tour are absolutely stellar!!! Beautiful home and beautifully designed.

[@azurieone3002]

Beautiful home!!

[@Grannynan]

I could spend a month absorbing all the beauty in this home! Fabulous!

[@lisahandley2552]

exquisite home. you couldn't love this one too much.. and yes, please 🙏 let us see the kitchen when complete.

[@kathrynkerridge1896]

Stunning. The glass collection I collect antique glass & lighting so jealous of his & the green is my absolute favourite . Can't wait to see the kitchen

[@greggschroeder]

OMG, I just took possession of my first Easyplant plants and I'm so glad to see you are growing the same successfully. Gorgeous house, too, btw. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@peterjensen1455]

Stunning Home. Everything about it is beautiful. Victorian is my favorite Period. My Grandparents had a Victorian home, with 14-Rooms and 5-Fireplaces. It was built in 1882, on Staten Island in New York.

[@marleneartigues]

So charming....the home as well as the owner. LOVE!!!

[@reeganslessie]

Lovely - I greatly appreciate your sentiments and totally get your Moreno obsession 💗✨🌙

[@zoezou1770]

Beautiful house. In general, mirrors facing the front door are bad fengshui. Mirrors placed perpendicular to the front door are good fengshui. However mirrors wherever YOU feel comfortable are good fengshui.

[@susanmulvey6311]

OMGOSH, I just noticed his shoes!! Love them, want them, will never be able to afford them, but I will always still love them!! 😘

[@carlettagoodrich-mann1377]

The architecture is beautiful. I love your design style simplistic yet functional. Thanks for the tour.

[@EugeneCunningham-lr1gy]

Beautiful home ! The homeowner is charming.

[@suecox2308]

It's lovely to see a Victorian home with a traditional esthetic but somehow modern at the same time. (The palm tree lamp is my favorite.) What a wonderful history the house has, and the owner honors his own history as a gay man, too. Bravo.

[@stevenrowson4339]

Lovely home and interesting tour. I love all the small details and vignettes.

[@twillafaye515]

Love this home. He is so charming & funnymm😊😊

[@bonneyfinnegan8514]

This man loves his home and all his Murano- I’m glad he has such a great collection to enjoy! Even though I don’t know for sure what Murano is.

[@macondesigns]

Wow!! He is a Murano collector after my heart. Love the pieces especially the floor lamp

[@jacq9527]

Sonny thank you so much for sharing with us, you're home is absolutely beautiful, I adore it 💕

[@louisevereker5370]
