This Century-Old Duplex is a Strategic Investment Opportunity listed at $575,000, matching its $575,000 Fair Market Value. Boasting a Condition Rating of 4, the residence features original hardwood floors and high ceilings across two spacious units. The significant 6,250 sqft lot and detached two-car garage offer clear paths for ADU development and forced appreciation. Despite lower ratings for nearby Reach Academy and Fremont High, the separate utilities and laundry make this a strategic acquisition for Buy-and-Hold Investors or Owner-Occupants seeking a high-upside house-hack in Oakland.

Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1925, this century-old duplex is well-maintained with original hardwood floors and high ceilings, but it lacks recent comprehensive renovations. The kitchens and bathrooms feature older styles and appliances, and the property shows typical signs of aging and deferred maintenance consistent with a home of this vintage that has not been fully modernized within the last 15 years.
This duplex features separate utilities and laundry for each unit, making it an ideal turn-key opportunity for investors or buyers looking to house-hack while maintaining privacy.
The generous 6,250 sqft lot and detached two-car garage provide significant upside for ADU development or footprint expansion, allowing for increased future equity.
The combination of a long gated driveway and a detached garage offers rare and ample secure parking, a high-demand feature for multi-unit properties in the Oakland area.
The property is zoned for schools with ratings as low as 1 and 2, which may limit appeal for long-term family tenants and impact the property's resale velocity.
Recent price reductions and a list price currently below the 2021 sale price suggest potential market cooling or deferred maintenance typical of a century-old structure.
