More Insights
Built in 1926 (100 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1926, shows signs of regular upkeep but features dated kitchens and bathrooms. While functional and clean, the kitchens have older-style cabinets, laminate countertops (in one unit), and linoleum/older tile flooring. The bathrooms feature basic vanities and older subway tile surrounds. The presence of radiators indicates an older heating system, and the listing itself notes 'potential system updates' as a weakness. These elements suggest the property is aged but maintained, requiring minor to moderate updates to meet modern aesthetic and efficiency standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in the highly coveted Haight-Ashbury neighborhood with an impressive 97 WalkScore, offering unparalleled access to parks, groceries, diverse dining, and vibrant commercial corridors like Divisadero, making it highly attractive to renters.
Strong Income-Producing Asset: A well-positioned 4-unit building designed for income generation, providing a stable revenue stream as a prime investment property in one of San Francisco's most desirable areas.
Significant Development Potential: The property offers future upside with the explicit possibility of adding Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) and/or unit conversion, allowing for increased rental income and property value.
Separately Metered Utilities: All four units are separately metered for PG&E, simplifying landlord responsibilities and ensuring tenants are accountable for their individual utility consumption, enhancing profitability.
Desirable Unit Features & Period Charm: Each of the four 1-bedroom flats boasts expansive living spaces, high ceilings, walls of windows for brightness, large kitchens, and charming period details, appealing to a broad tenant base.
Cons
Age of Building & Potential System Updates: Built in 1926, the property may require significant capital expenditure for updating older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, heating) to modern standards, which could impact immediate returns.
Limited Private Outdoor Space: Only one unit benefits from an 'expansive backyard,' meaning three out of four units lack dedicated private outdoor space, which can be a drawback for some tenants in an urban setting.
Unspecified Parking Allocation: While a 'very large garage' is mentioned, the description does not clarify if it provides dedicated parking for all four units or its specific use, which could be a significant concern for tenants in a parking-scarce city like San Francisco.
