Three spacious bedrooms that can comfortably accommodate a queen-sized bed and/or a home office, offering versatile living options with plenty of closet space and two updated bathrooms.

Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1964, this property shows significant signs of age and dated aesthetics, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen features older wooden cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, and black appliances, indicating a need for a full renovation to meet modern standards. While the bathrooms are described as 'updated,' the beige square tiles and traditional dark wood vanities suggest an update from 15-30 years ago rather than a recent, contemporary renovation. Hardwood floors appear older, and track lighting is prevalent. The listing explicitly targets 'renovators and visionaries,' confirming that substantial cosmetic and functional updates are required, though there are no apparent structural or safety defects that would classify it as 'poor' or 'tear-down'.

Highly Competitive Price Point: Advertised as 'the most affordable unit in the city' for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit in San Francisco, presenting a strong value proposition for buyers.
Desirable Private Outdoor Space: Features an 'oversized Zen-like private outdoor space' that can be used for entertainment, relaxation, meditation, and contemplation, a significant amenity in an urban setting.

Cons

Significant Renovation Potential: The description explicitly targets 'renovators and visionaries' and highlights 'contemporary charms of the 60's,' indicating that substantial updates are likely needed beyond the bathrooms to meet modern buyer expectations and aesthetics.
Cooperative Ownership Structure: As a 'Stock Cooperative,' this ownership type typically involves stricter rules, board approval processes for sales and renovations, and can present more complex financing challenges compared to traditional condominium ownership.
