Shack On San Francisco's Potrero Hill Hits Market For $2.5 Million

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS SF) – A shack in San Francisco's Potrero Hill neighborhood has just hit the market for a jaw-dropping price.

Located on the 800 block of Carolina Street, the home listed for $2.5 million is in such bad shape, potential buyers can't even step foot inside. In fact, it even comes with a demolition permit.

Despite its condition, the listing agent said the 640 square foot home has its perks. For one, the property has expansive views of the city's skyline. Also, the sale comes with plans for a sleek new four-level home.
