Property Description
Rare opportunity to restore, expand, or redevelop on an oversized lot in San Francisco's sunny Excelsior neighborhood. Located on a quiet, flat block of Athens Street, the property sits conveniently between the vibrant shops, restaurants, and transit along Mission Street and the expansive trails, playgrounds, and Gleneagles Golf Course at McLaren Park. The existing early 1900s cottage offers classic character and sits on an unusually large lot, with a spacious basement and potential for three car parking. Buyers may choose to restore and renovate the existing home, expand into a larger single family residence, or reimagine the property entirely. For developers and investors, the property may also present compelling redevelopment potential. Under San Francisco's newer family friendly zoning provisions and ministerial approval pathways, buyers may explore the possibility of adding an additional unit, creating a two unit building, or potentially a two unit property with an ADU at the rear of the lot, buyer to verify. Preliminary development analysis prepared by City Structure Inc. available for review. A rare opportunity to create a custom home, development project, or long term investment in one of San Francisco's most up and coming neighborhoods.
