Property is extensive renovation needed.
The property has sustained significant fire damage to the interior, requiring a complete gut rehabilitation and replacement of major systems. While the listing suggests the structure can be restored, it currently possesses major defects affecting safety and habitability, placing it firmly in the poor category.
Priced well below the neighborhood average, this property presents a high-upside opportunity for investors or developers to execute a full renovation and capture substantial equity.
The backyard features a separate au-pair structure, offering rare versatility for a home office, guest house, or potential rental income once restored.
The property boasts excellent proximity to major freeways and public transportation routes, making it an ideal hub for Bay Area commuters.
The interior requires a complete gut rehabilitation due to fire damage, which will necessitate significant capital expenditure and likely limit financing options to cash or hard money loans.
