More Insights
Built in 1889 (137 years old).
Condition: This Victorian duplex, built in 1889, has undergone significant recent renovations, bringing its overall condition to 'Good'. The upper unit, described as renovated in 2025 (likely a typo for 2023/2024), features a modern kitchen with white shaker cabinets, new stainless steel appliances, and contemporary countertops, along with a fully updated bathroom and new vinyl plank flooring throughout. The exterior boasts new paint, a newer roof, and double-pane windows. While the lower unit is functional and includes some newer flooring and a partially updated bathroom, its kitchen and one bathroom show older cabinets, appliances, and tiling, preventing an 'Excellent' rating for the entire property. Heating is provided by wall heaters, not central HVAC. However, the extensive updates to major components and one entire unit make it move-in ready and well-maintained.

Pros & Cons

Income-Generating Duplex with Vacant Unit: The property is a duplex, offering immediate income potential for investors or an attractive 'house hack' opportunity for owner-occupants, especially with the recently renovated upper unit being vacant.
Extensive Recent Renovations: Significant recent updates including new vinyl plank flooring, double-pane windows, a newer roof, and new exterior paint enhance the property's appeal and reduce immediate maintenance concerns.
ADU Development Potential: The rear backyard offers ample space and potential for building an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing a clear path to increased property value and additional rental income.
Strategic West Oakland Location: Situated in West Oakland, the property boasts excellent connectivity to Downtown Oakland, major freeways (880/80/580), and the West Oakland BART Station, ensuring strong rental demand and appreciation.
Blended Classic Charm & Modern Comfort: The Victorian duplex retains its classic architectural character while benefiting from modern updates, offering a unique and desirable living experience.
Cons
Historic Property Age: Despite recent updates, the property's original construction year (1889) may imply potential for hidden infrastructure issues or require ongoing specialized maintenance typical of historic homes.
Undisclosed HVAC/Cooling System: The property description does not explicitly mention the presence of a central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, particularly cooling, which could be a significant consideration for comfort in warmer months.
Vague 'Other Improvements' & ADU Investment: While some updates are specified, the general mention of 'other recent improvements' is vague. Additionally, realizing the ADU potential would require substantial further investment and planning.
