SOLD 1628-1630 Great Highway for $1,700,000 $105,000 Over Asking

We had a great outcome despite the pouring rain during every showing.  Our client was so pleased that she decided to increase our commission!

Few times do opportunities like this one knock so loudly.  1628-1630 La Playa (Great Highway) appears to have once been a single family home, but the building records are inconclusive.  One thing for certain is the space offers a unique flexibility that will appeal to many buyer profiles. Remodeled from the studs out in 2000 with a floor plan that’s as functional as it is fashionable; this vacant duplex offers opportunities few others do in San Francisco.  Potentially partner perfect for TIC and condominium conversion; live in one unit and rent the other; use as a single-family home; the options are many for this unique and fabulous property.

The light-filled upper unit has two large bedrooms, two full bathrooms and a huge loft that could easily be another bedroom or entertainment space which flows out onto a massive roof deck overlooking the backyard and out to the Pacific.  A large skylight over the living room floods the entire living area with natural light and there are ocean views from the loft through this skylight/window in the sloping roof facing the ocean.  Watch the sunset each night from the balcony off the living room in the front of the home or the roof deck at the rear of the house while enjoying a beverage with your friends; indoor/outdoor California living at it’s finest on one of best surfing beaches in California.

The lower flat also offers two ample bedrooms, two full bathrooms, recessed lighting and an open floor plan that flows out into the large rear yard featuring a deck perfect for your next BBQ.

Walk two blocks to the south and up a couple east and you’ll find some of the finest pastries at the Devil’s Teeth Bakery, great Pizza at the Pizza Place and fun fashions at San Franpsycho.  There’s too much good stuff going on out here to mention, so come on out and have a look at what’s been recognized as one of the hottest neighborhoods in the nation.
