More Insights
Built in 1912 (114 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1912, is generally well-maintained with hardwood floors throughout. While some areas, like one kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a newer bathroom vanity, show more recent updates, other elements such as the bathroom tiling and the second kitchen's cabinets and backsplash appear dated, likely from renovations 15-30 years ago. The property is functional and move-in ready but would benefit from further modernization to align with current styles and address potential older systems.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Glen Park Location: The property boasts a highly desirable Glen Park location, offering excellent walkability to neighborhood retail, diverse restaurants, and convenient public transportation options.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a residential income duplex, the property offers significant income potential, with one unit available for immediate occupancy/rental and another currently generating income.
Valuable Parking & Outdoor Space: A rare two-car garage and a large private backyard are highly coveted amenities in San Francisco, adding substantial value and utility to the property.
Desirable Interior Features: Hardwood floors throughout the property enhance its aesthetic appeal, durability, and perceived value, a sought-after feature for many buyers.
Flexible Additional Space: The substantial basement area provides valuable extra space for storage, a workshop, or offers potential for future development and customization.
Cons
Extended Tenant Occupancy: The upstairs unit is leased until June 2026, which limits the new owner's immediate flexibility for full occupancy, rental adjustments, or extensive renovations for that portion of the property.
Property Age & Potential Updates: Built in 1912, the property is over a century old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical) or the need for significant capital investment in modernization and maintenance.
Limited Immediate Income Optimization: While income-generating, the existing long-term lease on the upstairs unit may mean the current rent is below potential market rates, limiting the new owner's ability to immediately maximize rental income for the entire property.
