Period Charm: The residential unit retains 'nice period details' in its Edwardian style, adding character and appeal that is often sought after in historic San Francisco properties.
Strong School District Access: Located in San Francisco, the property is in proximity to several highly-rated public schools, including Lowell High School (rating 10), which is a significant draw for families.
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 = 1925.
Residential Lease Flexibility/Risk: The residential unit is leased on a month-to-month basis, which, while offering flexibility for an owner-user, could present tenant turnover risk or rent control limitations for an investor in San Francisco.
Fixed Retail Lease Term: The retail lease has only 3 years remaining with no options to renew, creating a mandatory re-leasing event or potential vacancy in the near future.
Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1924, the property is nearly a century old, which may lead to higher ongoing maintenance costs and potential for deferred maintenance, despite the retail space being recently remodeled.
