Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1900, this property presents a mix of conditions across its units. While some areas, like a primary bathroom and one kitchen, have received modern updates with new vanities, glass showers, and stainless steel appliances, other kitchens feature older appliances and dated flooring. Another bathroom is significantly outdated with older fixtures and flooring. The property is well-maintained for its age, but the listing's own analysis highlights the potential need for significant investment in updating older systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards. This aligns with the 'Fair' category, indicating that major components are functional but show signs of being outdated, and minor updates or repairs are required in various areas.
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).
Prime Location: Situated in the highly desirable Lower Pacific Heights, this property benefits from a sought-after address in a revitalized San Francisco real estate market, enhancing its appeal and potential for appreciation.
Significant Income Potential: As a triplex with two vacant units, the property offers immediate opportunity for a multifamily investor to secure market-rate rents or for an owner-occupier to generate substantial rental income.
Historic Charm & Architectural Details: Built in 1900, the building exudes timeless architectural details and historic charm, appealing to buyers seeking character and unique aesthetic value.
Generous Square Footage: Boasting 6,000 square feet across three units, including a massive 4-bedroom / 2-bath, 2-story owner's unit, the property offers ample living space and flexibility.
Owner-User Flexibility: The availability of two vacant units provides excellent flexibility for a prospective owner-occupier to move into a unit while benefiting from rental income from the remaining units.
Cons
Age of Building: Constructed in 1900, the property, despite being well-maintained, may require significant investment in updating older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards and reduce long-term maintenance costs.
Existing Tenant Management: With one unit currently occupied, a new owner will need to navigate San Francisco's stringent tenant protection laws, which can be complex and potentially limit immediate flexibility for that unit.
Limited Lot Size: The 3,438 square foot lot for a 6,000 square foot building suggests a high building-to-lot ratio, potentially offering limited private outdoor space, which can be a drawback for some buyers in an urban setting.
