You're right, that's a great park - I should've mentioned it. I'll be updating the Mission Bay video this year, as this one is a few years old now and will mention it. Thanks for the comment!

There were three units in total here.

@ , How long has the TIC been? How much is the association fee to maintain insurance, utilities and common area maintenance? Is there a parking? Have they been to the condo lottery? After condo, how much do you think will be the condo price (comp as today’s price)?

😆 pretty true!

@conniepleasantnails - Thanks, I thought it was cozy too!

I'm happy you found the video useful, thanks for commenting @scitails!

Yes, the craftsmanship in this home is timeless

Windows are one of my favorites features of this home; really feels like you’re in a pied-à-terre in Paris

Yep, noticed that. Time for a new mic. 👌

Perhaps, but unlike a hospital room, it doesn't come with fluorescent lighting and a free side of existential dread.

Only on Tuesdays, but the HOA is working on making it a bi-weekly thing.

Hi @allnighterist. Good observation, and I'd have to agree. Thanks for commenting! Cheers.

@kirahastings9900 - all valid points, I'd say. Thanks for commenting!

@sofia7374 - agreed...great location if someone likes the northern part of the city, and they did a very nice job on the renovation. I guess being right on a bus, muni, or cable car line depends on the person and also what they're lifestyle is like, i.e., if they're up early or late. I lived on a cable car line on California St. for a few years and it didn't really bother me except for early Sunday mornings 😆

Hi @joecorso5404 - thanks for your comment! The Richmond is on my list, and thanks for the suggestion. I'm glad you've found the videos helpful!

Hi, @michaelbettinger3486 - thanks for your comment! I agree - it is a lot of stairs, I'll give you that. Probably not ideal for anyone who wants easy access to the yard. The upside is that the views are spectacular!

@SlySoSavage - I totally agree! I used to live in a condo in San Francisco where we had an attic - not as finished as this one - and I turned it into a painting studio. Since this space is finished, it can legitimately be used for so many things!

Agreed! It's darling!

There is an elevator in the building, yes. Is that what you were referring to?

I suppose all over the city and in whatever neighborhood they like.

I thought so too, when I first went to the property.

It sure is, and it's one of the best things about this condo. It's surprising, you wouldn't expect it from that particular location. Thanks for your comment!

It's lovely!

@christinecamley - thanks so much for commenting! 😊 I agree, it's a great deal for Pacific Heights!

@@tonyknott17Thanks Tony!! Right on!!

Thank you! 😊

@kirahastings9900 - thanks for your comment. I would have to agree that there isn't great "flow" to it. What are some aspects that stick out to you the most?

No different than 90% of these lovely old houses chopped into flats, and this is gorgeous, the price is even low for what it is, and where.

Not sure about Satanic, but checkered floors date back to Ancient Greece where they were used in palaces and temples. More recently, they were popular in opulent spaces during the Renaissance and Victorian eras, including in Versailles, and the Palace of Venaria, to which one could argue that the Illuminati was involved! 👍

Yes, not uncommon in many San Francisco homes.

Unfortunately, you're right. I'm seeing more older buildings make attempts at rectifying that, though, this property does not have it.

Yes' I realized awhile back, checking out places in The City, that you have to be able to navigate stairs, many stairs.😊

@AAWGASHTADS thanks for commenting. You're correct about the stairways - they are fire escapes, which are required; the backyard is deeded to this unit for it's exclusive use. I think reversing the living room and bedrooms as you suggested is a great idea; that's just how the property was staged.

@christinecamley - I totally agree! One of the best views I've seen from Dolores Heights and the large windows really set it apart! Thanks for your comment.

@@tonyknott17 Outstanding large windows!! Mind blowingly gorgeous!!

@SlySoSavage - green space works for me! 😃 Thanks for commenting!

Thank you! 😊

@christinecamley - thanks so much, I appreciate it! And yes, this little condo is just full of charm✨ 😊

@@tonyknott17 YW!! It sure is!! 🙂

@garyh.2487 - thanks for commenting...What do you think about the HOA - just right, too high, or a bargain?...

@@tonyknott17 If reserves are too low then $685 is fine. If reserves are good, that's a big deal and don't feel so bad paying $685 because everything about the house is good and will be easy to sell. If the hired property management is good then $685 per month is fine. If self managed IMO proper HOA would be $530.

Hi @mich00000 - thanks for asking. This was not a BMR unit, although I could understand if you thought it might be. The seller was a trustee (he inherited the property; never lived in it), and he had it on the market at a much higher price for about 3 months. When he contacted me, he had no showings, offers, or even calls on the property. I walked him through the comps (prices for SOMA condos are currently down - in some cases down to 2004 levels). Ultimately, he just wanted to sell ASAP. I gave him two pricing options - one that would have been higher, but not guaranteed to sell right away, the second was $529K, which I told him, would likely be a quick sale. We ended up with a full price offer in less than a week.

@@tonyknott17 Wow! You definitely gave the seller the perfect advise and it's a win-win situation for both seller and buyer! :D

@td3053 - thanks for commenting. I agree, San Francisco is expensive. The reality is it has always been expensive here (I've lived here since 1993). You'd be surprised, however, in what's possible if you're intent on buying here. I'd be happy to schedule a time to chat about your goals if that's of any interest to you. Cheers.

Hi @witsendcottage595 - thanks for your question. The HOA fees this condo are $675/month. That includes common areas, insurance, exterior maintenance, grounds maintenance, management, roof, trash, and water...so quite a bit compared to many properties. This condo sold for $965,000 (3% below the list price), so based on that valuation, the annual property tax would be $1,1364.75 (1.17769382% San Francisco property tax rate for fiscal year 2023-24). Hope that helps!

Thank you very much! I'm so glad to hear that!

Agreed; it's one of the most unique units I've seen in San Francisco. Thanks for commenting!

Not your style?

@kanayomadu9914 - thanks for commenting! I agree it does feel bigger once you go through it - especially for a 1 BD!

HOA dues are $340/month here.

@billybobtheslime2999 - thanks for commenting. I wouldn't disagree with you.

@sofia7374 - thanks so much for commenting! You're right about the staircase - I found out that the original owner put that door in to get furniture into the property. Not sure if it's clear from the video, but there is another door that leads into the unit on the opposite side of the wall, but it was a hard angle from the stairway to get big pieces of furniture into the condo, so they put another one next to the stairs 😊.

@LMays-cu2hp - You are welcome, and thanks for watching!

Hi @helgahaa thanks for commenting! I agree; the building is beautiful. I had so many people come to the open houses because they said they always loved the building and wanted to see what it looked like.

@@tonyknott17 I envy them!

❤️

@sofia7374 - Yes, as far as I know, it's the only one in the Haight. And you're right, I think the previous owner added a lot of value by enclosing the downstairs to make a bedroom -- and didn't sacrifice much space to do so. Thanks for commenting!
