Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1954, this property is well-maintained and move-in ready but shows signs of being outdated. While it features recent cosmetic refreshes like new paint, LVP flooring in select areas, and a new lower roof (2024), the listing explicitly highlights 'exceptional potential for updates,' suggesting the kitchen and bathrooms have not undergone a full modern renovation. The overall style, including windows and the front entry, reflects an older era consistent with the 'fair' condition category.
Elementary School: Chinese Immersion School At Deavila (9/10). Middle School: Lilienthal (Claire) Elementary School (9/10). High School: Lowell High School (10/10).
The property boasts sweeping, unobstructed panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline from the main living areas and the primary suite, a premium feature that significantly enhances its valuation.
The inclusion of seller financing offers a rare and attractive financial incentive, providing buyers with flexible purchasing options that are seldom found in the current market.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 2950, other record living area = 1874.
The property is highlighted for its 'potential for updates,' suggesting that while functional, it likely requires significant cosmetic or structural investment to meet contemporary luxury standards.
While the area is served by some high-performing schools, several nearby public options have very low ratings, which may be a deterrent for families focused on specific educational assignments.
