The place

A spacious, well-decorated mansion on a corner lot with some very quirky bedrooms.

The history

The home was built at the beginning of the 20th century. The current owner, a tech entrepreneur, bought it in 2015 from a 90-year-old woman who’d lived there her entire life. A year ago, he enlisted interior designer Kat Rose to spearhead renovations, and invited some of his artist friends to paint murals in most of the bedrooms. When the place is rented, the host typically stays with his girlfriend down the street.
