Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1909, is described as 'well-maintained' and 'income-generating,' suggesting functionality. However, the interior images reveal outdated features. The kitchen has older white appliances (refrigerator, gas range) and basic, minimal cabinetry, indicating it has not been recently renovated to modern standards. The bathroom features older white subway-style tiling and basic fixtures, consistent with an older renovation or original components that are functional but aesthetically dated. While the flooring appears to be updated laminate and some recessed lighting is present, these are minor updates that do not constitute a full, recent renovation. The overall condition points to a property that is aged but maintained, with major components showing signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'Fair' category. The listing's mention of 'value-add buyers looking to boost NOI' further supports that significant updates are needed.
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).

Prime SOMA Location: Strategically located in the heart of SOMA, providing exceptional access to transit, tech hubs, and urban amenities, ensuring strong demand.
Immediate Cash Flow & Strong Tenancy: Described as a stable, income-generating asset with strong existing tenancy, appealing to cashflow-focused investors.
Value-Add Potential: Offers opportunities for value-add buyers to boost Net Operating Income (NOI) through residential turnover, commercial lease optimization, and potential expansion into the full basement.
Long-Term Appreciation Potential: Situated in a neighborhood poised for a strong rebound, suggesting enduring value and long-term demand.
Cons
Significant Price Reduction: The current list price of $2.595M is substantially lower than its previous sale price of $3.495M in 2016, warranting thorough investigation into the reasons for this depreciation.
Age of Building: Built in 1909, the property's age may imply higher ongoing maintenance costs, potential for outdated systems, and less energy efficiency compared to newer constructions.
Small Lot Size: The lot size of 1430 sqft for a 7-unit mixed-use building is very small, likely limiting on-site parking and outdoor amenity space, which could be a drawback for tenants and commercial operations.
