Who doesn't want a house with a Rock Garden Grotto in the entry?? It used to have a waterfall feature- who will make it work again?

From high above the street, this grand 1916 property features breathtaking views of San Francisco Bay Area. In the same family for over 50 years, the house is filled with energy, memories and a history of creativity − Jazz, Art, and Political Activism. It's been a home for entertaining, parties, events and gatherings for over 100 years. The ballroom with its concrete floors and huge fireplace, the quirky rock garden grotto, and the expansive roof terrace set it apart from other homes in the area. A real sense of privacy inside and out, and the feel of resort life. California Living at it’s best with spacious rooms, huge bi-fold windows and doors, bright spaces, and beautiful outdoor areas: gardens, patios, lawn, deck and the fabulous roof terrace. 4++ bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, office, aupair suite, 2 kitchens, and more.
