About this home
PRICE DROP!! Priced Under Assessed value!! Telegraph Hill Location! Lovingly lived in by the same family for more than 60 years, this home is ready for a new chapter. This is the first time that this property is being offered for sale since being built in 1962. GREAT BONES!! Three bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms with a large living room and kitchen/dining area and 2 large rooms (540 sq. ft) in the dry basement that are waiting to be finished. This home has nice front yard and a private fenced in rear yard. Gas heat and hot water, some newer windows, sump pumps, basement laundry, hardwood floors and 7 year old roof. Great option for someone looking to renovate this and and make it their own or a possible developer flip or maybe an investment rental. The property is being sold "as is"
