Ocean Views & Space on the Great Highway

Yes, it is possible to find a three-bedroom condo with three bathrooms (!) and almost 2,000 square feet with parking and ocean views for less than $1M in San Francisco. Case in point: 1580 Great Highway #4 in the Outer Sunset, which offers all of the above for a list price of $699,000. That’s a lot less than the $1,388,270 citywide average sale price for a 3BR condo in San Francisco, isn’t it?

But there’s more: This four-unit building was constructed in 1985, so it’s more up to current city codes than, many of San Francisco’s older buildings. The kitchen is well appointed with granite countertops and new appliances, and you also get a deeded deck with lovely hill views.

What’s nearby? Well, besides the ocean and a great running/biking path, you’re two blocks from the N Judah that runs downtown. Two of my favorite restaurants, Thanh Long and Outerlands (currently closed for an expansion project) are five blocks away, and let’s not forget that Golden Gate Park is a healthy jog to the north.

A couple noteworthy items: HOA dues are a low $310.51/month. And because two of the four units in the building are tenant occupied, you will need to work with a portfolio lender such as First Republic that will lend on a property with this type of rental/owner-occupier ratio. (In other words, your loan will be an ARM vs a 30-yr fixed).

1580 Great Highway #4 was listed last year for about $50,000 higher and buyers didn’t bite. But I think they’ve nailed it this time around. If you’re a buyer who can be a little patient with the time it takes to get downtown or to the freeways—-and want to have your own urban refuge on the water—give this condo a look. Offers are due on March 19th, so if you want to pop in to check out the property, give me a call and I’ll schedule a showing for us!
