Price: $15,375,000
Sensational in San Francisco: On and off the market since 2016, this magnificent oceanfront property may require some updates. But no work is needed on those romantic views. Imagine waking up to views of the Golden Gate Bridge or snuggling under the covers with the bridge lit up.
As long as the fog isn’t a factor, the huge picture windows frame views of the bridge, the Marin Headlands, and the Pacific Ocean from all four levels. If you like, head down to the beach on your own private staircase for a breezy picnic.
Built in the 1920s, this six-bedroom home boasts formal living and dining rooms, two cozy fireplaces, multiple decks, a game room, and a wine cellar. If you’re in love, tell it to the judge.
The listing notes that a federal bankruptcy court has jurisdiction over the sale of this property and that offers are subject to the court’s approval.

Superb in the city: Impeccably rebuilt, this six-floor Manhattan townhome offers romance on every level.
Picture this: A night in front of the limestone mantel fireplace, set in a lovely living room with 10-foot-high ceilings, a sumptuous chandelier, and comfortable couches.

There’s even more to love in the other rooms, such as the library, wet bar, and dining room. A chef’s kitchen opens out to the garden level, filled with plantings and an outdoor kitchen.
Upstairs, the third floor is taken over by the primary suite, which features a trio of Juliet balconies.
On the top floor is a sky-lit media room, where you can watch a rom-com with your boo. All levels are connected by a leather-clad elevator or by a staircase with leather-covered handrails.

16627 Los Morros, Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Price: $9,995,000
Romance in Rancho Santa Fe: Vines, red wine, resort-style living—what’s not to love? The 16,000-square-foot abode offers panoramic views, a wine cellar, pool, and yes, a vineyard.
We particularly relish the romance of the outdoor living room, whose seating area surrounds a cozy fireplace. It has no television to distract you, which will allow you to focus on the sights and sounds of your natural surroundings—and your significant other. The space would easily elevate any at-home date night.
Set on more than 5 acres, the spread also has a working vineyard, with 250 Cabernet Sauvignon vines. Cheers to that.
