There's likely nothing more San Francisco than living in one of the Painted Ladies.

714 Steiner St., one of the homes in the middle of the row, came on the market this week for $2.75 million.

Unfortunately, the elegant 1890s Victorian needs quite a bit of restoration. The 2,588-square-foot home was originally a single-family house but was converted into two units sometime in the 1960s.

It has three stories and is listed with two and a half bathrooms and three bedrooms, though any buyer is likely to gut the whole thing. It also has two kitchens.

The lower level features a deep two-car garage with plenty of room for storage or even "expansion possibilities," according to the listing.

These homes don't come on the market often — the last one sold in June 2014 for $3.1 million. This particular home hasn't been available for decades.

"It has endless possibilities for whoever is going to restore it," listing agent Jeremy Rushton said. "It has some unique views of downtown from the back that not all of the sisters have."

As one of the most-photographed locations in the city, a buyer who intends to live in the property should to be ready for tourists constantly hanging out outside their front door. But any buyer interested will likely see that as the least of their problems with this home.
