Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1922, the property has undergone significant updates, as evidenced by the 'updated kitchen and baths' and 'hardwood floor throughout' mentioned in the description. The kitchen image confirms a recent renovation with dark wood cabinets, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and tiled flooring, suggesting updates within the last 5-15 years. This makes the property move-in ready with no immediate renovation required for key areas, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Modernized Interiors: The property boasts recently updated kitchen and baths, along with hardwood flooring throughout, offering a move-in ready and aesthetically pleasing living environment.
Prime Berkeley Location: Conveniently located in a sought-after Berkeley neighborhood, providing easy access to shopping, dining, and public transportation.
Private Outdoor Space: A large, fenced-in yard offers valuable private outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or entertaining.
Historic Charm: Retains desirable architectural character as an 'adorable' cottage from 1922, featuring a classic fireplace in the living room.
Access to Top Schools: Proximity to highly-rated public schools, including Berkeley High School (8/10) and Willard Middle School (8/10), enhances its appeal to families.
Cons
Age-Related Maintenance: Built in 1922, the property may require ongoing maintenance or system updates typical of older homes, despite recent renovations.
Compact Living Space: With 1055 sqft, the property offers a more compact living area, which might be a limiting factor for buyers seeking larger homes or growing families.
Split-Level Design: The split-level layout, while offering distinct zones, may not appeal to all buyers, particularly those preferring single-level living or open-concept floor plans.
