This house - 1,275 square feet on a 2,848 square foot lot is listed at $637,500 (at exactly $500/square foot) and has a scheduled offer date of June 25. The house is vacant.
MLS: 342117
Let's look at the basics... In Noe Valley (big plus), garage (big plus), flat lot, yard and low price. The street is relatively calm and the walkability to Bart, Church street/24th, is very good.
I toured the house on its first open house, days after its listing date (5/22). The open house was well attended and the agent was very friendly. The house requires a remodel to the studs (some floors can be salvaged). This can be a relief in some ways, as the new owners can basically start from scratch in determining a new configuration and design.
The entrance to the house is right in the middle of the house, splitting the house in two and making the bedrooms to the left and right on the small side (think tunnel hallway with rooms to left and right). There are many options for configuring the house - You could keep two bedrooms in the front and then open-up the back of the house for an open kitchen, formal dining room and living room effect. Honestly, if you needed more bedrooms/office space, you could actually configure the house to have four smaller rooms in the front of the house, and one open kitchen/living room in the back of the house (although then your "great room" would be on the small side)
There is also the ability to incorporate the basement as a master bedroom or even a media room.
There is a large and well-established lemon tree that is very close to the house and blocks the existing window/light in the kitchen. This tree needs to go. The yard is cute but a little dark for my tastes... but again - lots of potential.
I think this house would make a great investment for an owner or developer. I think it will sell for well over 800K.
