Condition Rating
Fair
The condo was converted in 1987, making the core finishes over 35 years old. While the kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, the cabinets, countertops, and flooring are significantly dated (late 1980s/early 1990s style). The bathroom is also entirely outdated in its fixtures, vanity, and overall aesthetic. The property appears well-maintained and functional, but the outdated kitchen and bathroom styles would likely necessitate cosmetic renovations for most buyers, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
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).
Exceptional Location: Situated between the vibrant Castro and Haight-Ashbury districts, directly across from Buena Vista Park, offering unparalleled access to culture, recreation, and city life.
Historical Significance & Character: Housed in a unique 1926 building with a rich history (former hospital/convent), providing distinctive charm and a sense of owning a piece of San Francisco's past.
Convenient Transportation & Walkability: Excellent access to public transportation minimizes the need for a car, enhancing urban living and connectivity.
Valuable Included Amenities: Features assigned off-street parking and dedicated storage, highly sought-after and valuable assets in a dense urban environment like San Francisco.
Bright & Spacious Interior: As an end unit, it benefits from abundant natural light, complemented by high 9.5-foot ceilings and double-paned windows, creating an open and comfortable living space.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 722, other record living area = 829.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $944 monthly association fee represents a significant ongoing expense, impacting affordability and overall cost of ownership.
Compact Living Space: At 722 square feet with one bedroom and one bathroom, the unit offers limited living space, which may not suit all buyer needs or future expansion plans.
Age of Original Building Structure: While converted in the 1980s, the underlying 1926 building structure could imply potential for older systems or higher long-term maintenance considerations for the HOA, despite recent exterior paint.
