Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: Built in 1975, this property is nearly 50 years old. While it features updates such as laminated flooring, granite kitchen countertops, and double-paned windows, these renovations appear to be older, likely falling within the 15-30 year timeframe. The bathroom, for instance, shows a functional but dated vanity and light fixture. The overall condition suggests the property has been maintained with regular upkeep and occasional updates, but major components and aesthetics show signs of being outdated, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Property: A desirable three-unit residential building, perfect for investors, 1031 exchangers, or first-time homebuyers seeking to live in one unit and collect rent from the others.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located near Cherryland Elementary School, supermarkets, restaurants, shops, public transportation, Hayward BART Station, and major freeways (880, 580), offering easy commutes to San Francisco, the South Bay, and both SF and Oakland International Airports.
Individual Unit Amenities: Each unit benefits from its own private car garage and backyard, highly desirable features that enhance tenant appeal and privacy.
Updated Unit Interiors: Units are in good condition, featuring laminated flooring throughout, granite kitchen countertops, and double-panned windows, suggesting reduced immediate maintenance needs for tenants.
Versatile Investment Opportunity: Appeals to a broad range of buyers, from seasoned investors looking for rental income to owner-occupants seeking to offset mortgage costs.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1975, the property is nearly 50 years old, which may imply that major building systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) could be original or nearing the end of their useful life, potentially requiring future capital expenditures.
Mixed School Ratings: While close to schools, several nearby elementary and middle schools have lower ratings (e.g., Cherryland Elementary rating 2, Edendale Middle rating 1), which might be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public education.
Lack of Central HVAC Mention: The description highlights double-panned windows but does not mention a central heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system for the units, which could be a drawback for tenant comfort during extreme weather and a potential upgrade cost.
