@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.

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.

❤️

@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!

@marty1159 thank you so much! 😊

Thanks for commenting. Yep, there are problem areas in San Francisco, no doubt. Whether the city cares or not is subjective though. Best of luck with your career goals; San Francisco is still the tech capital of the world, so I’m sure you’ll succeed!

Thanks for commenting; I agree, small space here, but that’s not uncommon for this type of property. What’s really special about this unit are all the high-end upgrades the owner made.

Glad you liked it! Thanks for commenting! I really loved this place. It’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely special and location can’t be beat!

You're welcome, and thanks for watching!

Yes, that was waaay back in the day! 😆

Yep...that would be a nice feature.

Thanks for commenting! I think that’s subjective though 😀

Yes, I agree, it was a bargain! 🌟

Yes, agreed, some bedrooms are definitely on the small side in older San Francisco homes 😉

Interesting… have you actually been here? It’s certainly not as you describe it 🤷🏻‍♂️

on our worst day, San Francisco is still the most beautiful city in America.

@@pwp8737 have you been downtown?? How many filthy camps, overdosing bodies, piles of poop do you have to step over to become disgusted? Why such low expectations?

You’re isolating one problem area (which has improved, btw). Like any large city in America, there are problem areas with challenges such as homelessness and crime. Can you name a city that doesn’t have issues like that to deal with. The majority of San Francisco is not as you’re describing it. Do you even live here or just parroting mass media clickbait?

@pwp8737 thanks for commenting - I’ll have to go back and listen to the vid; I hadn’t noticed the floor, myself. And yes, it’s a great price. It was strategic, as the seller was in a need to sell ASAP.

Hey @danielbecker9836 - thanks for your comment. I agree about the living room and the two bedrooms being connected. The truth is, the way these older homes were constructed, the front room (BD 1), was probably never intended to be a bedroom. In fact, that's possible with the adjoining 2nd bedroom as well; it may have originally been a formal dining room + living area/parlor when first built. Lower Pacific Heights is a small area adjacent Pacific Heights, bordered by California St. to the north, Geary Blvd. to the south, Presidio Ave. to the west, and Fillmore St. to the east.

Hi @sofia7374. Thanks for your comment. I do agree with you; the reality is the front room (BD 1), was most likely - as you said - originally a living area/parlor, with the adjoining room (BD 2), likely a living area/parlor when first built.

Hi @zerohelix87, thanks for commenting; yes nice catch; not idea place for the shower head.

Hi @alisons9740. It's funny how many neighbors came by this property when it was on the market; they all said that they always loved the exterior of the building and wondered what it was like on the inside. Thanks for your comment!

@user-cu7uz5le3h - yes, you're right; at least we can say that! LOL! Thanks for commenting!

Hi @jlasf. You're right, I should have taken more exterior shots of this building, as many people comment on it, and it is beautiful. The property probably would have sold much sooner if there was an elevator. Thanks for commenting!

@mikehill3728 - thanks for commenting. This property sold in 2017 for $1,380,000 and sold in 2023 for $1,293,000 (2% below the list price).

Yes indeed! This was a very special property; one of my favorite listings in San Francisco! Thanks for commenting!

@anthonydavid5121 - thanks for commenting! Yes, it's a truly lovely place.

Bells only ring from 9am-6pm. Most people wouldn’t be home, let alone sleeping. I live nearby and enjoy the sound of the cable car, carillon, and ship fog horns at night. It’s part of the “only in SF” charm and why I moved here, but it’s not for everyone.

Hi @pwp8737 - Grace Cathedral bells don't go all night; I believe the ring from 9am-6pm. I used to live a block away on California St. and what you notice more often at night when it's quiet is the cable car. However, it soon becomes "background" noise IMO, and actually adds to the charm of living on Nob Hill. Thanks for commenting!

Hi @roystrickland3363 - thanks for your comment. This property is on the third floor and there’s no elevator in the building.

Thanks so much for commenting! I agree, it’s beautiful and the architectural details make it very special 😀

Hi @eddiechen3486 thanks for your message. I agree; it’s one of my favorite neighborhoods in San Francisco.

That's true!

Thanks for commenting; yes San Francisco has always been in the pricier side, especially for unique properties like this one.

My HOA is $1,675 a month.

I've seen some over $2K

Hi @sweetpotatopie4283 - thank you for your comment! I agree; this is one of the most beautiful homes I’ve been in. I’ll have to look back at the video to check to see if I didn’t mention the price; normally I do that at the end of the video. However, it’s in the title and thumbnail if you’re interested: $5,995,000

@CatherineLeighe - thank you for your comment! I agree, it’s one of my favorite properties ❤️

@TiberiusEmpire - thanks for your comment! You’re right, San Francisco - like most cities - has definitely been impacted by increased homelessness and crime in the last few years. However, I can honestly say that it has improved significantly in the last year. There are isolated areas that are still a problem, of course, but I have noticed improvements including new stores (like the new IKEA) opening. Let’s hope it continues to get better!❤️‍🩹
