More Insights
Built in 1924 (102 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1924, presents a mixed condition. The upper-level kitchen, while described as 'updated,' features dated elements like a peach-colored tile backsplash and older white appliances, suggesting a renovation 15-30 years ago. The upper-level bathroom is significantly outdated with floral wallpaper, an old vanity, and older tiles, requiring a full renovation. The lower level is explicitly 'unwarranted' and appears to be a partially finished basement/garage conversion with exposed beams and ductwork, and a very basic utility-style 'kitchen' area. While the lower-level bathroom is more modern, the overall condition of the unwarranted space requires substantial rehabilitation and legalization to be considered a proper living area. The hardwood floors throughout also show significant wear. This combination of dated main living spaces and a largely unfinished/unwarranted lower level necessitates substantial repairs and rehabilitation, aligning 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).
Flexible Living & Income Potential: The property offers 2,240 sq ft across two completely separate levels, each with its own private entrance, providing exceptional flexibility for multi-generational living, au pair accommodations, guest retreats, or future ADU/rental income potential.
Vibrant Excelsior Location: Situated steps from Excelsior's lively Mission Street corridor, the home provides immediate access to diverse shops, cafes, and essential services, enhancing daily convenience and lifestyle.
Excellent Connectivity & Recreation: Proximity to McLaren Park, Crocker Amazon Playground, public transit, and easy I-280 freeway access ensures convenient commuting and abundant recreational opportunities.
Charming Period Details & Modern Updates: This classic 1924 San Francisco residence features desirable hardwood floors, abundant natural light, a formal dining room, an updated kitchen with a breakfast area, and private deck access.
Access to Quality Education: The location offers access to highly-rated public schools, including Balboa High School (7/10) and the prestigious Lowell High School (10/10), making it appealing to families.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Unwarranted Lower Level & Square Footage Discrepancy: The property's total described living space is 2,240 sq ft, yet the official listing states 1,250 sq ft. This discrepancy is due to the lower level being explicitly 'unwarranted,' which presents significant permitting challenges, potential costs, and regulatory hurdles for buyers seeking to legalize or maximize its rental/ADU potential.
Age-Related Maintenance & Systems: As a 1924 build, the property may require ongoing maintenance and potential updates to original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that are not explicitly mentioned as having been modernized beyond the kitchen.
Digitally Staged Imagery: The use of AI-staged photos in the listing may create an idealized impression, necessitating thorough in-person inspections to accurately assess the property's current condition and finishes.
