More Insights
Built in 1900 (125 years old).
Condition: Built in 1900, this property shows significant age with no indication of major recent renovations. The listing explicitly states it's a 'value-add opportunity' to 'unlock this home’s true potential' and the property analysis highlights 'Age and Potential for Deferred Maintenance' and 'older systems and infrastructure.' While currently occupied, this strongly suggests that the kitchens, bathrooms, and other major systems are severely outdated and require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards for comfort and functionality. The exterior images are consistent with an un-renovated building from its era.

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).
Investment Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'Great investment property' with three fully occupied, distinct units (3 beds/1 bath, 3 beds/1 bath, 2 beds/1 bath), offering immediate rental income.
Multi-Unit Configuration: The tri-level structure with three separate units provides diversified income streams and flexibility for investors, a valuable asset in the San Francisco market.
Desirable Amenities: The upper unit boasts city views, and the lower unit includes a large backyard, both highly sought-after features in urban residential properties.
Value-Add Opportunity: The description 'Step into instant equity and unlock this home’s true potential' suggests significant upside for renovation, modernization, or rent optimization.
Long-Term Appreciation Trend: Despite some fluctuations, the sales history indicates a general upward trend in value over the long term, reflecting the property's location in a strong market.
Cons
Low Available Lot Utilization: The property has a small lot size, more than 70 percent of which is taken by its living area. lot size in square feet = 2495, living area = 2274.
Property Type Discrepancy: The property is listed as a 'Single Family Residence' but described as a 'tri-level' with 'three fully occupied units,' which is a significant inconsistency that requires clarification regarding zoning and legal use.
Age and Potential for Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1900, the property is likely to have older systems and infrastructure, potentially requiring substantial capital expenditure for updates, repairs, or modernization.
Local School Ratings: Several of the closest public schools to the property have low ratings (1-3), which could be a deterrent for prospective tenants or buyers with school-aged children.
