Men and other beautiful or curious things

It's already decorated with the finest Bradbury & Bradbury reproduction Victorian wallpaper.

The sitting room is like something out of a magazine.

They've got some authentic furniture pieces, too. It is known as the "Jewel of Escondido."

According to the listing, the owners spent $4m to restore it to modern standards while preserving the historic elements.

Well, you can definitely tell that the kitchen is new. I like green cabinets, though.

Details of the backsplash.

Even the laundry room was decorated.

Small sitting area by the stairs.

This house doesn't have linen closets in the hall, so they used barrister bookcases.

I read the description over twice to see if the furnishings come with it, but it only said that the well-appointed rooms would serve the new owners for many years to come. Usually "well-appointed" refers to decor, but it could just mean the wallpaper and permanent fixtures.

Beautiful bath.

The bedrooms are fully decorated, but I guess that the buyer should appreciate the expensive wallpaper and the carpeting.

The furniture in the bedrooms is exquisite.

Look at this decor.

This must be the primary bedroom. It's larger and has the table and easy chair.

The baths are very beautifully done. This is how to renovate a Victorian bath.

This is beautiful. Even the grounds are meticulously maintained.

Here's a fountain.

Beautiful covered patio.

Pretty and shady pavilion in the yard.

.5 acre corner lot.

Etched glass on the front door, a long built-in sofa with a lovely mural.

The main living area is completely open.

What an interesting fireplace.

So much space and it's beautifully decorated. Love the wallpaper along the border.

In addition to the living room area, there's a family room.

Dining area and kitchen.

What a kitchen.

It's one of those "hidden" kitchens where the appliances are barely visible.

Along the side, there's a separate library area.

The primary bedroom has a private terrace.

Large bath with lovely green tile.

Nice wine cellar.

And, here's another sitting area near the wine cellar.

Spacious secondary bedroom with a glass block window.

The guest house is ridiculous. Guests would never want to leave.

As soon as they enter, there's a work area.

Very large living room.

Full kitchen with dining area.

Beautiful bedroom.

And, for more guests, there's an additional guest house. There're 8.9 acres of land.

This one's a little smaller and has a kitchenette.

But, it's lovely, too.
