Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1959, the property features a dated interior that appears to be over 20 years old without significant recent renovations. While functional and move-in ready, the kitchen cabinetry, older wall heating systems, and basic fixtures require modernization and minor repairs to meet current market standards.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Iconic Lake Merritt Views
The unit features dual balcony access from both the living room and primary bedroom, offering stunning, unobstructed views of Lake Merritt and the Oakland Hills.
- Exceptional Walkability
Boasting a premier location with an 'off the charts' Walk Score, residents are steps away from BART, the Oakland Museum, and diverse dining in Chinatown.
- Comprehensive Building Amenities
The property provides a resort-like lifestyle with a secured entrance, gated garage parking, a courtyard pool, and a dedicated barbecue area.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 999, other record living area = 783. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 2, other record bedroom count = 1.
- High Monthly HOA Dues
At $829 per month, the association fees are relatively high, which may impact the overall monthly affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
- Limited Bathroom Count
Despite having two bedrooms, the unit only offers one bathroom, which may be a drawback for families or those seeking a more modern multi-bath layout.
