About this home

Diamond in the rough! This sunny SF home near Davis Square, Red Line & bike path was rented for $4600/mth until this summer, to grad students. It has 5 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, w/d in basement, level hardwood floors, high ceilings, insulated windows. Most interested parties are end users wanting to renovate and live in it rather than continue renting it. Potential for spacious master suite on 3rd floor with the addition of dormer(s), leaving 3 bedrooms and bath on the 2nd level. Very easy to open living room to dining room as originally built. Burnham gas-fired heating system, 200 amp service, full unfinished basement, garage for 2 compact cars currently used as a storage shed, easily returned to original use. Those wanting a back yard could take down the garage & retain a pkg space. One could also build an art or music studio in the garage, with easy access to the lav off the kitchen, preserving one parking space. See driveway easement disclosure.
