The lower level is currently only framed out and requires a complete rebuild, while the main level needs cosmetic updates, making this a substantial project rather than a move-in-ready home.
Finishing the proposed lower-level layout will involve significant capital investment and navigation of San Francisco's complex permitting and construction processes.
