The property was built in 2001, making it 23 years old and placing it in the 'Fair' category (>20 years). While the unit appears well-maintained, stylish, and move-in ready with desirable features like a spiral staircase and private deck, the kitchen and bathroom finishes and mechanical systems are likely original to the 2001 construction and may soon require updates.
Priced at $405,443 as a Below Market Rate (BMR) unit, this property offers a rare entry point into the San Francisco real estate market at a significant discount compared to traditional market-rate lofts.
The inclusion of a private deck provides a highly desirable outdoor extension to the living space, a premium feature for urban loft living in the SoMa district.
Unique temporary waivers allow for non-first-time homebuyers and down payments exceeding 50%, providing more flexibility than typical BMR programs for qualified applicants.
The property is subject to MOHCD resale restrictions and monitoring, which limits future capital appreciation and requires the owner to sell to another income-eligible buyer.
