More Insights
Built in 1926 (100 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1926, benefits from recent updates like a new roof and fresh paint, and features well-maintained hardwood floors. However, the kitchen, while functional with some newer stainless steel appliances, has dated light wood cabinets, a busy mosaic backsplash, and an older electric cooktop on the island. The bathrooms are also dated, particularly the lower-level bathroom with its older vanity and tile. While move-in ready, the kitchen and bathrooms show signs of being outdated and would require minor updates or renovations to meet contemporary tastes, aligning with a 'fair' condition.

Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1953, other record living area = 1255.
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 = 2095, living area = 1953.
Potential for Dated Kitchen/Bathrooms: The description does not specify updates to the kitchen or bathrooms, suggesting these areas may be original or require modernization to meet contemporary tastes.
Limited Bathroom Count: With 4 bedrooms, the implied total of 2 bathrooms (one on the main level, and one additional) might be considered insufficient for larger households.
Absence of Air Conditioning: As is common in San Francisco, the property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a consideration for buyers during warmer periods.
