Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1924 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer,' this property requires a total rehab. The kitchen and bathroom feature finishes and appliances that appear over 40 years old, and the heating is provided by dated wall units rather than a modern HVAC system. The exterior stucco, detached structures, and interior surfaces show significant neglect and age-related wear.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Gourmet District Location
Situated in the heart of North Berkeley's renowned Gourmet District, the property offers world-class walkability to iconic destinations like Chez Panisse, Cheeseboard, and the original Peet's Coffee.
- Significant Equity Potential
Priced as a 'fabulous fixer' in a high-demand neighborhood, this property presents a rare opportunity for investors or visionaries to build substantial equity through renovation.
- Versatile Lot & Structures
The 4,400 sqft lot features a sunny backyard, a driveway for off-street parking, and a detached structure that provides excellent potential for an ADU or creative studio.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- MLS Listing Discrepancy
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1178, other record living area = 1059.
- Extensive Rehabilitation Needed
The property is in 'fixer' condition, requiring a buyer with significant capital and construction expertise to address necessary repairs and modernization.
- Limited Initial Footprint
With only two bedrooms and one bathroom in a 1,178 sqft layout, the current configuration may be too small for larger families without a costly expansion.
