Condition Rating
Poor
The property was built in 1947, making it 77 years old. While the description states 'updated kitchen and bathrooms' and 'hardwood floors,' the images (dated 2015) show that these updates are not recent, likely 10-20 years old, with dated appliances (white refrigerator, black cooktop/hood) and older style bathroom fixtures. The most significant factor is the explicit mention of a 'Code violation on the property' and a 'Second Unit down with 1 bedroom 1 bath not permitted.' These issues indicate substantial repairs, rehabilitation, or legal/permitting work is required, potentially affecting safety, soundness, or structural integrity, which aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Excellent location in a sunny part of South San Francisco, offering convenient access to El Camino Real and just two blocks from Brentwood Shopping Center, enhancing daily convenience and potential appreciation.
Updated Main Unit: The upstairs 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit features updated kitchen and bathrooms, along with hardwood floors, providing a modern and move-in ready living space.
Potential for Additional Living Space: The presence of a 1-bedroom, 1-bath downstairs unit, while unpermitted, offers significant potential for extended family living or future income generation once properly legalized.
Desirable Climate Zone: Situated in the 'sunny part' of South San Francisco, this location offers a more favorable climate compared to foggier areas of the Bay Area, a desirable attribute for many buyers.
Functional Layout: With a total of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms across both units, the property offers a versatile layout suitable for various living arrangements or investment strategies.
Cons
Unpermitted Second Unit: The downstairs 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit is explicitly stated as 'not permitted,' which presents legal and financial risks, requiring the buyer to undertake the permitting process or remove the unit.
Existing Code Violation: The property has an active 'code violation,' indicating a non-compliance issue that will need to be addressed and resolved by the buyer, potentially incurring additional costs and delays.
Property Age & Potential Systems: Built in 1947, while the main unit has updated finishes, the underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) may be original or require significant updates, which could lead to unforeseen expenses.
