More Insights
Built in 1908 (118 years old).
Condition: Built in 1908, this property is in a state of significant disrepair, requiring substantial rehabilitation. The kitchen features extremely outdated, possibly non-functional appliances and cabinets, along with worn flooring, demanding a complete gut renovation. The bathroom is equally dated with old fixtures, pink tiles, and a washing machine, indicating a full overhaul is necessary. Throughout the home, hardwood floors are heavily worn and dirty, walls show peeling paint and very old wallpaper, and light fixtures are vintage. The listing itself states it needs 'vision to restore and reimagine its full potential' and 'extensive renovation required,' confirming it is far from move-in ready and likely has extensive deferred maintenance on major systems.

About this home
Don't miss this fully detached, sun-filled duplex in San Francisco's Visitacion Valley. First-time on the market in generations, this special property is ready for new owners with vision to restore and reimagine its full potential. The vacant upper unit enjoys sweeping views of the Bay, Bay Bridge, and downtown San Francisco skyline. It features two generously sized bedrooms, one full bath, a spacious living/dining room, and an eat-in kitchen, with wood floors throughout. The lower unit is tenant-occupied and offers one-plus bedrooms, one full bath, a living/dining room, and an eat-in kitchen. Set on an extra-wide lot, the property boasts a long driveway leading to a private, fenced rear yard with lush greenery, mature trees, and a view deck. The driveway accommodates two or more cars, in addition to a one-car garage at the front of the duplex. Bring your imagination: expand the existing footprint, explore the potential for an ADU, or create a custom multi-generational or investment property (buyer to verify). Located just blocks from Bayview Park and the expansive John McLaren Park - offering playgrounds, picnic areas, an amphitheater, bike park, soccer fields, and more - this home also provides easy commuter access to US-101 and I-80/I-280, along with nearby K and T MUNI lines. Note: Probate sale; court confirmation not required. Property sold subject to lower unit tenant rights.

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).
Income & Owner-Occupancy Potential: This duplex offers immediate flexibility with a vacant upper unit for owner-occupancy or rental income, complemented by a tenant-occupied lower unit providing existing cash flow.
Significant Development Potential: The property presents a rare opportunity to expand the existing footprint, explore ADU potential, or create a custom multi-generational or investment property on an extra-wide lot.
Exceptional Parking: A long driveway accommodating two or more cars, in addition to a one-car garage, provides highly valuable and rare off-street parking in San Francisco.
Panoramic Bay Views: The vacant upper unit boasts sweeping views of the Bay, Bay Bridge, and the downtown San Francisco skyline, enhancing its appeal and potential value.
Generous Outdoor Space: Features a private, fenced rear yard with lush greenery, mature trees, and a view deck, offering valuable and sought-after outdoor living space.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is described as needing 'vision to restore and reimagine its full potential,' indicating significant renovation and capital investment will be necessary to modernize and maximize its value.
Tenant Rights Impact: The lower unit is tenant-occupied, and the sale is 'subject to lower unit tenant rights,' which limits the buyer's immediate flexibility for occupancy or redevelopment of that unit.
Age and Potential Deferred Maintenance: Built in 1908, the property likely has original systems and may require substantial updates to plumbing, electrical, and other infrastructure to meet modern standards and address potential deferred maintenance.
