Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1947, the property has undergone a significant cosmetic refresh including new wide-plank flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, and updated lighting fixtures. The home appears move-in ready and well-maintained, consistent with a 5-15 year renovation profile, though the original 1940s structure and windows suggest it does not quite meet the 'Excellent' criteria for a full modern rebuild.
The inclusion of a dedicated bonus room and an attached garage provides exceptional flexibility for a home office, storage, or creative studio, maximizing the utility of the 1,025 sqft footprint.
The property features a private rear yard on a 3,500 sqft lot, offering a rare urban retreat ideal for gardening, relaxation, or hosting guests.
Situated with easy access to the 580 freeway and public transportation, this home is perfectly positioned for professionals seeking a convenient commute within the Bay Area.
The assigned public schools carry low ratings (ranging from 1 to 3), which may be a significant drawback for families and could impact long-term resale value.
Built in 1947, the property likely requires modernization of core systems and finishes to meet contemporary standards, necessitating additional upfront capital investment.
