More Insights
Built in 1919 (107 years old).
Condition: Despite its 1919 build year, this property has undergone extensive and recent modernization. The images clearly show a fully renovated interior with new, modern components throughout, including two updated kitchens (main and lower level kitchenette) with stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, and contemporary backsplashes. All five bathrooms feature modern vanities, fixtures, and marble-look tiling. New LVP flooring, recessed lighting, and fresh paint contribute to a virtually new and move-in ready condition, meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Elementary School: Lafayette Elementary School (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
Prime Location & Accessibility: Nestled in the desirable Richmond District, moments from Golden Gate Park, Balboa Street, Geary Boulevard, top-rated schools, and offering easy access to public transit and major roadways.
Spacious & Versatile Layout: A thoughtfully designed three-level residence with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including a main-level bedroom/bath and a flexible lower level with a wet bar, suitable for various uses like a guest suite, gym, or office.
Modernized Edwardian Charm: Beautifully blends early 1900s Edwardian architectural charm with significant modern updates, including updated flooring and an updated open-concept kitchen.
Abundant Natural Light & Private Outdoor Space: Features bright southern exposure and loads of windows, complemented by a lovely, flat backyard with direct access, ideal for entertaining, BBQs, and pets.
Updated Kitchen & Open Concept Living: The main floor boasts a seamless open concept flow from the living room to the dining area and an updated kitchen, creating an ideal space for entertaining.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 5, 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 = 2033, living area = 1720.
Compact Lot Size: The lot size of 2034.25 sqft is relatively small for a 5-bedroom single-family home, which may limit outdoor expansion possibilities or perceived privacy.
Absence of Dedicated Parking Mention: The property description does not explicitly mention dedicated parking (e.g., garage, driveway), which can be a significant drawback in a dense urban area like San Francisco.
Potential for Age-Related Infrastructure: While modernized, the 1919 build year suggests that some underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) may not be fully updated to contemporary standards, potentially incurring future maintenance or upgrade costs.
