More Insights
Built in 1970 (56 years old).
Condition: Built in 1970, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'Contractor's special' that 'needs to be completely updated including floors.' The images confirm this, showing a kitchen with very old, worn appliances (e.g., a dated Frigidaire electric coil stove), dark, outdated cabinets, laminate countertops, and old linoleum flooring. The bathroom also features a dated vanity and fixtures. While freshly painted, the property requires substantial rehabilitation and significant capital investment to bring it to modern standards, aligning with the 'poor' 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).
Value-Add Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as a 'Contractor's special' requiring complete updates, this property offers significant potential for customization, modernization, and substantial equity growth post-renovation.
Desirable San Francisco Location: Situated in San Francisco, a highly sought-after and appreciating real estate market, offering strong long-term investment potential.
Functional Layout: The property features 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across 1350 sqft, providing a versatile and spacious layout suitable for various living arrangements.
Accessible Price Point: Listed at $650,000, this townhouse represents a relatively affordable entry into the San Francisco housing market for a multi-bedroom property, especially for those willing to undertake renovations.
Low Association Dues: A modest monthly association fee of $157 contributes to lower ongoing ownership costs compared to many other townhouse or condominium properties in the area.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property 'needs to be completely updated including floors,' indicating a substantial and comprehensive renovation project for the prospective buyer.
Significant Capital Investment: Beyond the purchase price, buyers must be prepared for considerable additional capital investment to cover the costs of extensive renovations and bring the property to modern standards.
Dated Infrastructure: Built in 1970 and requiring full updates, the property likely has outdated core systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) that may necessitate costly replacement or upgrades during renovation.
