Sonny needs his own show, I love his passion for his home. And his home is stunning.
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.
Oh my! What a sympathetic update. Your home is delightful. ❤
Hey I'm a native too!
You AND your house are absolutely delightful! Thank you for sharing!
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.
I could listen to this bloke all day. Lovely home, both refined and quirky - just like its owner.
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.
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.❤️
The murano glass is out of this world. Every piece is stunning.
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! 💜
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! 😉
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
GORGEOUS home and such a sweet homeowner ! No pretension just shows his love for the home with its beautiful curated style.
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.
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.
I was hoping to see the kitchen, too. Gorgeous home! ❤
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.
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!❤️
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!
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.
I’m a fellow Murano collector as well. Adore your pieces! 💕
He is lovely and I could listen to him speak for hours. Great taste and feel for the home
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.
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.
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
The house is stunning………and so is he😍😍😍😍😍
No comment about his tight pants???
What a talented guide. He told a beautiful story of his home and the collections within it.
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.
Hats off to you my good sir for such a sophisticated and elegant home ! 😊
San Francisco has some of the most beautiful old vics, this one is absolutely stunning!
The green chandelier makes the room pop. This is beautiful home, and the colors don't dominate the house.
What a beautiful transformation of this house yet keeping so many old artistic pieces of the original home. Just beautiful!
The Sky light on the upper floor is stunning!🤩 The three little Murano mirrors next to the orchid is just a beautiful touch 💖
The way he’s thoughtfully mixed eras is inspiring and something I’m trying to do (in my case due to budget constraints).
Beautiful building. I am so glad it found itself in worthy hands. Thank you for the video!
Thank you for the tour. House is gorgeous!
What a charming man and a lovely presentation of his beautiful home:)
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. 🏳️🌈
Just beautiful!! I hope we visit again when the kitchen is completed!!
What a lovely man! Wonderful guide through his beautiful home that although refined is quite well lived in! 😍🤩
Love the place so beautiful and love his personality and how soft-spoken he is 🫶🏾
Wonderful home. What a lovely owner & his bulldog.
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! ❣
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. 😉
It was as a joy for me to spend this time listening to you as you share your lovely home. Thank you.
Beautiful home!!
What a great storyteller!! Several times during this video I have actually laughed out loud, he is fabulous!
Marvelous home! Thank you so much for the splendid tour. So captivating. So much beauty. 😊😊
Beautiful home, I love the appreciation of all the details, the history of the home and honoring it's past. ❤😊
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.
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.
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.
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
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. 😍
Thank you Sonny for sharing your stunning home- love all the Murano and the beautiful mural wallpaper. You’re a charming host ❤
Awesome! Watched every second. Great home, great narration, great guy!
exquisite home. you couldn't love this one too much.. and yes, please 🙏 let us see the kitchen when complete.
I love the 3-D tennis court art piece so much!
I LOVE this BEAUTIFUL HOME, its easy to understand why he Truly Loves his Home.
Wonderful Presentation.
TUFS
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!
Beautiful home and an incredibly charming host!
Great home, great host/narrator. That shoe comment had me laughing out loud.
One of the best home tours-interesting design advice, a most delightful homeowner and a stunning home…
Well done, my friend. You have genius-level style and I'm so happy for the house that you are there!
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 ❤❤
Absolutely gorgeous! When money and taste come together ❤️🔥
I could spend a month absorbing all the beauty in this home! Fabulous!
❤❤❤❤❤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
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.
Bravo Sonny! I enjoyed this so much it was nearly sinful!
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.
The architecture is beautiful. I love your design style simplistic yet functional. Thanks for the tour.
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
Lovely - I greatly appreciate your sentiments and totally get your Moreno obsession 💗✨🌙
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. ❤😊
STUNNING i miss FORTUNY lamps nice to see
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.
So charming....the home as well as the owner. LOVE!!!
“Curated guest bedroom “ 😂😂😂🤓😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🍩
Love this home. He is so charming & funnymm😊😊
I'm an elder, African American woman. I must say that your design, home, and tour are absolutely stellar!!! Beautiful home and beautifully designed.
Lovely!
Ahh, I miss The City! and the architecture. What a beautiful home and a charming owner. He is so funny!
Mary ‘s portrait she looks just like my great grand mother. WOW
A stunning home indeed!
Lovely home and interesting tour. I love all the small details and vignettes.
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.
I love his design sense.❤ the bathroom is somewhere I’d love to bath…❤
was waiting to see the kitchen .......So sad !
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.
Really enjoyed seeing this lovely, thoughtfully renovated home, but hated all the stops for advertisements. Less commercials, please!
I love the decor and history lesson.
Beautiful house.... everything perfect.... i love it.... greetings from Sonora México
I love that planter!❤
Your newel post lamp would be a lovely little chandelier
Sonny thank you so much for sharing with us, you're home is absolutely beautiful, I adore it 💕
What a magnificent home well done..the host so warm and delightful could watch him for hours 😊
He's charismatic!
Absolutely beautiful
Absolutely stunning.
that small room would be great with a wallpaper in greens
Wow!! He is a Murano collector after my heart. Love the pieces especially the floor lamp
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.
