48 and 54 Appleton Ave, Bernal Heights


Siblings built in 1904. No. 54 {left} has an unknown number of bedrooms and 1 bath in 1420 sq ft. No. 48 {right} has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in 1,250 square feet. No. 48 has obviously had some TLC. No. 54 needs some love, but it's nice to see what can be....

No. 54 last sold for $29K in 1975. This property is currently assessed at $58K. Property taxes for 2015-2016 are $679. Current estimates value this property at about $1.2 million. Judging by the exterior, I am guessing that this house is a fixer and with no recent permits on file I am also guessing that the interior is in mostly original condition. As I have said in the past, this can be both good and bad.

No. 48 last sold for $635K in 2011. This property is currently assessed at $664K. Property taxes for 2015-2016 are $7.8K.
Current estimates value this property at about $1.5 million. Renovations: KITCHEN REMODEL AT 2ND FL, NEW LARGER OPENING TO DINING ROOM AND BACK PORCH (2011) Cost: $14K.
