In San Francisco, a condo that truly lives like a house is rare. 942 South Van Ness is a reimagined Victorian flat in the Inner Mission, where historic character meets high-end contemporary design. The 1,890-square-foot open layout, with wood floors throughout, is made for entertaining. The chef's kitchen is the center of the home. Bosch, Liebherr and Fisher & Paykel appliances surround a large island with a built-in wine fridge, so guests can sit at the bar while you cook. Pantry closets and cabinets keep the counters clear. A gas fireplace anchors the living area, and French doors open to a private, west-facing patio. It catches the late-afternoon sun and works as an extension of the living room, whether you're hosting dinner or reading a book on your own.

All three bedrooms have en-suite baths, plus a half-bath for guests. The primary suite fits a king bed with room to spare and has a walk-in closet and a spa-like bath with a separate soaking tub and shower. In-unit laundry, one-car garage parking and private storage complete the home.

Step outside and the Mission's best food and culture are close by. Start with espresso at Sightglass or brunch at Mil Amores, then browse Heath Ceramics, pick up bread at Tartine Manufactory, or head to Dolores Park. In the evening, choose between a tasting menu at two-Michelin-starred Lazy Bear, pasta at Flour + Water, a film on Foreign Cinema's heated patio, or cocktails at Trick Dog or True Laurel. Highways 101 and 280 are minutes away, so the Bay Bridge, the Peninsula and SFO are all an easy distance.

· Anthropic's SF headquarters on Howard St is about 15 minutes away, or an easy BART ride from 16th or 24th St
