5,505 square foot Lizard enhanced triplex Edwardian built in 1905. Last sold for $1.1 million in 2011. Market value is about $3.1 million. A permit check did not reveal any major renovations.

BROKER BABBLE: Beautiful Victorian in the heart of desirable Mission District. Three large flats, two occupied, one vacant. Building has new paint and iron work.

Units are all 3 bedroom with split bath. Fantastic craftsmanship seen in original fireplaces, built-in cabinets, and wainscoting. This is a perfect opportunity for an owner occupier or TIC. Two protected tenants.

The property is considered historically significant (minus the lizards) as part of the Central Mission Shotwell Street Historic District.

This historic district, comprised of 134 contributors and 182 total properties, contains significant concentrations of some of the oldest extant properties in the Mission District, as well as some of the area’s finest architectural examples. Here may be found extraordinarily well‐preserved buildings that date to the mid‐ 1860s, including largely unaltered Greek Revival and “National” style folk residences, as well as extremely early Italianate style dwellings.

In addition, the district includes grand townhomes, flats and residences from the early 1870s through the turn of the century. Shotwell Street, one of San Francisco’s most representative and best‐preserved 19th‐century streetscapes, serves as the north‐ south spine of the district. The district also includes remnants of the famed “mansion row” along South Van Ness Avenue, formerly prestigious Howard Street, and portions of Folsom Street.
