Property is move-in ready.
The property is a well-maintained starter home featuring a modernized galley kitchen with granite countertops and updated cabinetry.

The property offers unparalleled access to the I-880 and I-580 corridors and BART, making it an ideal choice for Bay Area commuters.
The interior features an updated galley kitchen with granite countertops and white cabinetry, providing a contemporary feel in a key living area.
A fully fenced, private backyard offers a secure and versatile outdoor area that is rare for a starter home at this price point.
With only 973 square feet of living space on a 1,500 square foot lot, the property offers limited room for expansion or large-scale entertaining.
The mention of 'creative updates' suggests that while the kitchen is updated, other areas of this 1927 home likely require additional capital investment for modernization.
