Inside San Francisco Real Estate

Have up to $900,000 to spend for a single-family home in San Francisco? Let’s take a look at two possibilities in two different ‘hoods:

Consider 140 Hamerton, a 1710-square foot 1930s home located on a cul-de-sac on the Glen Park/Sunnyside border. There are two bedrooms, bath, kitchen, dining room and living room on the main level, and a bedroom and bath down. The house backs up to a hillside. You can access Bosworth and the Glen Park BART station/downtown area via a flight of stairs at the end of the block. There’s one-car parking. List price: $869,000.

But for another $10,000, you can consider 1025 Rhode Island:

This is a 2BR/2BA, 1700-square foot Victorian with major views to Twin Peaks. The main level includes one bedroom, bath, family room/office, and large open living room/dining room/kitchen that leads to a landscaped garden with two decks. There’s a master suite upstairs. No garage, but there is a huge basement with laundry and storage. Locationwise, you’re not far from the Potrero shops and restaurants. But you’re far enough away that parking shouldn’t be too much of a challenge.

So which is it? 140 Hamerton or 1025 Rhode Island?
