Luxury Townhouse in Odd Mission Location Gives It Another Shot

141hampshire

The luxury condo market is challenged these days, particularly when such a unit is in a weird location. Situated on the Mission/Potrero border adjacent to a Safeway loading area, 141 Hampshire #B has been on and off the market since 2008. And it’s making a return appearance in 2012.

The 3BR/2BA, 2790-square foot townhouse is certainly spectacular enough. It spans two levels and features double height windows, two walk-out terraces, a private roof deck, and city, Bay, bridge and Twin Peaks views. The unit was built in 2001, so it has somewhat dated finishes at the moment (think granite counters). But you also get one-car parking and in-unit washer/dryer. I remember being pretty impressed with the space when I toured it a few years ago.

The property was listed back in 2008 for $2,788,000, believe it or not. Then the seller changed agents and dropped the price to $1.7M in 2009. When that strategy didn’t work after 244 days, they let the listing expire.

But now, I get the sense the sellers are thinking the 2012 market is a good one for 141 Hampshire #B. Because this time around, they’ve bumped up the list price to $1,795,000 (and are now on their third real estate agent). Considering there are nine other condos listed in San Francisco in the $1.5M – $1.9M range, it’ll be interesting to see if a buyer is willing to overlook the unglamorous Potrero Avenue/grocery store loading location. But the views could potentially make the sale happen this time around.
