Condition Rating
Excellent

Despite being built in 1926, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, as evidenced by the 'newly painted' description and the modern, high-quality finishes throughout. Both the main kitchen and the ADU kitchen feature stylish, contemporary cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and updated countertops and backsplashes. The bathrooms are equally modern with new vanities, fixtures, and tiling. Hardwood floors are present throughout, and lighting consists of recessed lights and modern ceiling fans. The overall condition is pristine, move-in ready, and shows no signs of deferred maintenance, aligning with the criteria for an 'excellent' rating based on recent, comprehensive updates.
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).
Permitted ADU & Income Potential: A fully permitted 545 sq ft Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) with its own entrance and kitchen provides significant rental income potential or flexible multi-generational living options, a major asset in San Francisco.
Prime San Francisco Location: Strategically located with excellent access to public transit (BART), major highways (101, I-280), shopping, dining, parks, and educational institutions like City College and SFSU.
Versatile & Flexible Layout: The two-level main residence with a flexible lower level (family room/office/guest suite) and a separate ADU offers diverse living arrangements suitable for various buyer needs, including multi-generational families or owner-occupancy with rental income.
Move-in Ready Condition: Described as 'beautifully maintained and newly painted,' the property is vacant and ready for immediate occupancy, minimizing initial renovation efforts for the new owner.
Corner Lot Advantage: Positioned on a corner lot, the home likely benefits from increased natural light, better air circulation, and a sense of openness compared to interior lots.

Cons

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 = 2170.
Limited Lot Size: The 2077 sq ft lot is relatively small for a single-family home, which may restrict outdoor living space or future expansion possibilities.
Age of Construction (1926): While maintained, the 1926 construction year suggests potential for older infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may require future upgrades or maintenance not covered by recent cosmetic improvements.
Inconsistent Local School Ratings: While some highly-rated schools are within reach, several very close elementary schools have lower ratings, which could be a consideration for families prioritizing top-tier neighborhood schools.
