More Insights
Built in 1920 (105 years old).
Condition: Built in 1920, the property has received recent cosmetic updates including refinished hardwood floors, new paint, and newer dual-pane windows, making many areas move-in ready. The upper duplex unit also features an updated bathroom. However, the kitchen in the single-family home is very basic with minimal cabinetry and counter space, and an outdated style, which would require a substantial renovation to meet modern standards. The presence of an unfinished basement also indicates an area needing significant investment. While well-maintained for its age, the property's core systems (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) are likely older and not explicitly updated, and the SFH kitchen is a major component showing signs of being outdated, pushing it into the 'Fair' category rather than 'Good' due to the immediate need for a significant kitchen overhaul.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Income Property: The property comprises two buildings on one lot: a 2-bedroom single-family home and a 2-unit duplex (totaling a triplex), offering significant rental income potential and diverse occupancy options.
Development Potential: Situated on a generous 6,000 square foot lot, the property is explicitly noted as 'ideal for development,' presenting a valuable opportunity for future expansion or additional units.
Recent Renovations & Updates: Multiple units feature recent upgrades including refinished hardwood floors, new interior/exterior paint, updated bathrooms, and newer dual-pane windows, reducing immediate maintenance needs for new owners.
Strategic Location: The property boasts a desirable location close to public transportation, and the vibrant shopping and dining options of Emeryville, enhancing its appeal to tenants and residents.
Ample Parking: A long driveway provides convenient off-street parking for multiple vehicles, a significant advantage in urban areas where parking can be scarce.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential Maintenance: Built in 1920, the property, despite recent updates, may still present inherent maintenance challenges and potential for hidden issues common with older construction.
Unfinished Basement: The single-family home includes an unfinished basement spanning its entire length, which, while offering future potential, currently represents an unutilized space requiring substantial investment for conversion or improvement.
Recent Price Reduction: The property has undergone a recent price reduction from $1.199M to $1.18M, which could indicate a lack of strong buyer interest at the initial price point or a market adjustment.
