Built in 1920, this Craftsman home is well-maintained but significantly dated. The kitchen and bathroom maintain 'original character' with cabinetry and tile work that appear to be over 30 years old. While the hardwood floors are in good condition and the home is functional, the age of the finishes and likely older systems (HVAC/Electric) necessitate modernization and minor repairs to meet current standards.
Built in 1920, this residence preserves timeless architectural details including rich hardwood flooring and formal dining spaces, offering the warmth and privacy of a single-family home within a townhouse structure.
Situated in the highly connected North Oakland/Berkeley/Emeryville border, the property provides exceptional access to San Francisco commutes, local retail, and diverse dining options.
With nearly 1,300 square feet of living space and an oversized eat-in kitchen, the floor plan is significantly more spacious and functional than typical two-bedroom condominiums in this price bracket.
