Condition Analysis

OVERALL CONDITION SCORE

Poor
TeardownExcellent

Property is extensive renovation needed.

The property is currently in a 'gutted to the studs' state and is completely unlivable. It lacks all essential interior components including a kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, and finished walls. While the listing mentions approved plans and updated groundwork, the current condition requires a total rehabilitation and substantial construction to reach a habitable state.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • 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).

  • Shovel-Ready Opportunity

    The property is fully vacant and gutted to the studs with approved plans for a 2,674 sq. ft. home, significantly reducing the time and risk associated with San Francisco's permitting process.

  • Exceptional Outdoor Living

    The approved plans include a massive 1,357 sq. ft. roof deck, offering a rare and expansive private outdoor space that is highly coveted in the city.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • Significant Capital Outlay

    As a 'gutted to the studs' project, the property requires a substantial secondary investment for construction and finishes beyond the $2.5M acquisition price.

  • Limited View Profile

    While the upper level offers ocean views, they are characterized as 'partial,' which may not satisfy buyers specifically seeking unobstructed panoramic vistas.

  • Construction Timeline Risks

    Despite having approved plans, the buyer remains subject to the volatility of construction material costs and labor availability required to complete a project of this scale.
