High Investment Price: The list price of $2.89 million represents a substantial financial commitment, potentially limiting the pool of prospective buyers.
Absence of Explicit Parking: The description does not specify dedicated parking, which is a highly valued and often essential amenity in San Francisco, potentially deterring some buyers.
