Berkeley, California 94702
Analysis of 1314 Kains Ave 4, Berkeley, California 94702 is currently available with a list price of $299,950. The property maintains a Fair Condition Rating (50/100), suggesting the property is in acceptable condition with potential for value enhancement through selective updates and improvements. Located in a high-demand neighborhood within the Berkeley Unified School District, this asset is categorized as a low-risk, high-reward acquisition suitable for both Buy-and-Hold Investors and Owner-Occupants willing to undertake light renovation work.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1958, the property is dated but functional. While it features some cosmetic updates like laminate flooring and a newer bathroom vanity, the kitchen remains dated with red laminate countertops and older white appliances. The bathroom tub surround is aged, and the exterior driveway shows significant cracking. The lack of central HVAC (window AC mentioned) and the age of the kitchen/bath fixtures place it in the fair category, requiring modernization.
Middle School: Albany Middle School (9/10). High School: Albany High School (9/10).
Priced under $300,000 with a remarkably low monthly HOA fee of $168, this property offers a rare, high-value entry point into the competitive Berkeley real estate market.
Situated on the Berkeley/Albany border, the property provides access to top-tier educational institutions, including Albany High School which boasts a prestigious rating of 9.
With only 545 square feet of interior space, the unit's small footprint may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more room or a dedicated home office area.
The reliance on a window air conditioning unit rather than a central HVAC system reflects the property's 1958 vintage and may necessitate future modernization.
Charming upper floor condo on the Berkeley / Albany border in a 4 unit complex with garage+ parking. Spacious unit with oversized living room, lots of natural light, separate full kitchen with window air conditioner in the bedroom.
