Condition Rating
Poor
The listing explicitly states 'Contractor's Special!' and 'Fixer Upper!' sold 'As-Is,' indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The property analysis confirms 'Extensive Renovation Required,' highlighting the necessity for significant capital investment and modernization. Aerial images reveal a dated exterior and a roof that appears to be in poor condition. The description of converted downstairs units, flagged as a 'Potential Zoning Discrepancy,' suggests unpermitted alterations requiring costly remediation. The limited bathroom facilities (one for the main unit) further point to outdated and insufficient infrastructure. Without interior photos, the 'fixer-upper' status strongly implies that the kitchen, bathrooms, and other interior components are in a state requiring complete overhaul, consistent with a 'Poor' condition rating.
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).
Income Potential: The property includes converted 1-bedroom and studio apartments downstairs, offering significant rental income opportunities or flexible multi-generational living arrangements.
Delivered Vacant: Being delivered entirely vacant eliminates the complexities and costs associated with tenant evictions, allowing for immediate renovation or owner occupancy.
Prime San Francisco Location: Located in a highly desirable San Francisco neighborhood, benefiting from strong market demand and potential for property value appreciation.
Top-Rated Schools Nearby: Excellent proximity to several highly-rated public schools, including Lowell High School (10/10) and West Portal Elementary (8/10), appealing to families.
Corner Lot Advantage: As a corner house, the property likely enjoys enhanced natural light, increased privacy, and potentially greater curb appeal compared to interior lots.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 3.
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 = 2077, living area = 2073.
Extensive Renovation Required: Marketed as a 'Contractor's Special' and 'Fixer Upper' sold 'As-Is,' indicating substantial capital investment and effort will be necessary for comprehensive repairs and modernization.
Potential Zoning Discrepancy: Listed as a 'Single Family Residence' but described with converted downstairs units, which may imply unpermitted alterations or potential zoning challenges requiring buyer due diligence.
Limited Bathroom Facilities: The main top-floor unit features only one bathroom, which could be a functional limitation for a multi-unit property or a larger household, and suggests overall outdated facilities.
