What You Can Buy: 2BR Condos

Two-bedroom condos are one of the most popular options for first-time home buyers in San Francisco. I thought we’d take a look at a trio of new listings that offer good space, cool locations and nice amenities for their price points:

1099 23rd Street #19
Dogpatch
2BR/2.25BA, 1904 sq ft
1-car parking
HOA dues: $641/month
List Price: $850,000

I’m digging 1099 23rd Street #19, a spacious tri-level loft with multiple skylights, soaring ceilings and a wall of windows. The updated kitchen has stainless-steel appliances, granite counters, and maple cabinets. There’s a large bedroom upstairs, and the lower level has the master suite with a second gas fireplace. Nice closet space and laundry room, too. HOA dues are on the high side for a 21-unit building in Dogpatch, but they include outside management and grounds maintenance. This is a solid Dogpatch location, in easy walking distance of all the restaurants and shops on and around 22nd Street, as well as near the Muni line and freeways.

3236 17th Street #1
Mission
2BR/2BA, 1534 sq ft
1-car pkg
HOA dues: $200/month
List Price: $899,000

Another spacious condo, 3236 17th Street #1 is situated on the first floor of a three-unit building constructed in 2008. The open floor plan has a remodeled kitchen, and the main living spaces are nicely separated from the bedrooms by a long hallway. There’s side-by-side parking for one car, a storage room, and shared rear yard. 3236 17th Street is right in the thick of it all in the Mission, with a bike lane outside its door and plenty of restaurants, shops and cafes a few steps away.

899 North Point #1
Russian Hill
2BR/2BA, 1171 sq ft
1-car pkg
HOA dues: $312/month
List Price: $949,000

899 North Point #1 is an excellent option for buyers who want to be in a convenient location close to The Bay. The unit is located on the first floor of a three-unit building, and it’s another contemporary property that was constructed in 2009. As is typical for more recently built condos, the living/dining/kitchen areas are open and provide good space for entertaining. The bedrooms are a decent size, and the master has a bath with a stall shower. Amenities include radiant heat, hardwood floors and views of Mount Tam and The Bay from the living room. You’re a stone’s throw from iconic Ghirardelli Square, Aquatic Park, Fisherman’s Wharf and North Beach. And the cable car stops one block away!
