Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1929, this property is a well-preserved pre-war studio that maintains much of its original architectural character. While the description highlights its 'sophisticated' and 'exquisite' condition, the 'by-gone era' tile bathroom and 'neat galley kitchen' indicate that the primary systems and fixtures are aged and have not undergone a full modern renovation within the last 15 years. It remains functional and move-in ready through regular upkeep, but the components are stylistically and technically outdated according to current modern standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Walkability and Location
Boasting an A+ location at the intersection of Russian Hill and Cow Hollow, this property offers unparalleled access to Union Street boutiques, Polk Street nightlife, and the natural beauty of Fort Mason and the Marina Green.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

The association fee of $823 per month is notably high for a 551-square-foot studio, which may deter budget-conscious buyers or impact financing qualifications.
- Limited Living Space
As a studio apartment with just 551 square feet, the property offers limited flexibility for those requiring a dedicated bedroom or more substantial square footage for long-term residency.
