This San Francisco home is priced at a low $488K, but there's a catch

A house is for sale in San Francisco at a price some residents may find shockingly low considering the costly Golden Gate City housing market.

The 3 bed, 2 bath home at 30 North View Court in the city's Russian Hill neighborhood is up for $488,000, according to a listing posted on Zillow.

But there's one catch: The new owner may not be able to move in until 2053.

According to the listing, the single-family home is currently tenant-occupied and to be sold as is. It's described as an "investment opportunity for just the right buyer."

"Current tenant claims SF City- tenant protection class- status," it continues. "Tenant's current lease appears to grant tenants strong long term rent rate amount restrictions, unconventional method of rental payment, and possible occupancy rights until 2053."

The listing does not clarify what the unconventional method is.

Park North Real Estate listed the house on the website June 6. USA TODAY has reached out to Park North Real Estate.

It goes on to say, the tenant will also also pay their own garbage, water and electricity bills.

Another catch? The listing ends with the following disclaimer:
