NOW SELLING: 27 Boardman Place, San Francisco
— A Rare and Unexpected Single-Family House With So Very Many Options
A single-family house — in SoMa? Yes, you read that right. Let’s face it, you wouldn’t expect to find a single-family house around here, let alone one with a lush and verdant courtyard that attracts hummingbirds on a tree-lined street that’s clean, quiet and safe. One that also has charm, voluminous interior space and a variety of living arrangements that you can tailor into your perfect home in the heart of the City.
An unexpected find, 27 Boardman is a large single-family home that’s been cared for by the same family for 45+ years. Set on an equally rare one-way, tree-lined lane that’s quiet, clean and safe, 27 Boardman’s ≈ 2,878 sqft of living area over two floors includes a gracious landscaped 500+ sqft courtyard that actually attracts hummingbirds, 4 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 kitchens, 2 laundry areas, a vast 2-car garage/workshop and 2 off-street entrances. The upper living space mixes Edwardian details like coved ceilings, wood floors and picture rails with an updated kitchen, skylights, dual-pane windows and designer light fixtures. The lower-level’s crowning feature is its 35-ft long x 10-ft+ tall family room that leads out to a walled courtyard. Solar panels soak up the sun and lower PG&E bills (literally -$150 last month). So much space yields flexible living arrangements — a family compound, in-law space — maybe something that is potentially lucrative. The lower level earned more than $80,000/year as a legal Airbnb space with the owners living upstairs.

SOME STUFF TO KNOW.
To that extent possible, the information on this website is copyright protected. But other information such as links, articles and other ephemera are only reproduced here for educational purposes and may not represent our views or are otherwise approved by us. More important, whatever the source, remember to research all matters discussed here to your own satisfaction; trust but verify.
TERMS+CONDITIONS.
Real estate is always changing and evolving. Because it’s based on people and people are, well people. Therefore, real estate can be complex and as fickle as it is surprising. And while the information and knowledge on this site is considered to be accurate and correct, it cannot be warranted. Market conditions in San Francisco, in California, and the world can change with a tweet or a sneeze and is beyond anyone’s control as hard as we try.
In San Francisco, things like local, state and federal tax regulations can change quickly leading to big implications that take time to be realized or appreciated. Other factors like rent control rules, eviction control, lending practices and standards, building and zoning regulations are just a few of the other things like pandemics, forest fires or mortgage rates that can change with little or no notice. All of these things and other intangible factors may well impact market values and performance. So keep your wits about you and keep in touch with us.
Kevin is a licensed California attorney but focuses on real estate about 99.9 percent of the time. It’s important to note that while you can’t take the attorney out of him he will not be acting as your attorney here. To the larger point, you should also seek out qualified folks who work in their respective sectors if you have further questions about X, Y or Z; we have referrals too if you need.
