While the price reflects a premium, the property offers a Buy-and-Hold Investor or first-time buyer a low-maintenance asset in a prime South Shore location. Featuring a Fair Condition Rating and a rare fenced patio, the unit provides immediate access to the community pool and coastal trails. This property is an ideal entry point for those prioritizing lifestyle convenience and proximity to transit over immediate equity gains.
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1968, the property is over 50 years old but has received cosmetic updates. While the flooring and appliances appear newer, the kitchen cabinetry and wall heating systems are dated. It is move-in ready and functional, but the age of the systems and original features suggest a need for minor repairs or modernization to meet contemporary standards.
Situated in the highly desirable South Shore neighborhood, the property offers immediate proximity to Alameda Beach, scenic lagoons, and the South Shore Center's extensive shopping and dining options.
Unlike many studio units, this ground-floor condo features a large, fenced patio that seamlessly extends the living space outdoors, providing a rare private area for gardening or lounging.
Priced under $300,000, this property serves as an accessible entry point into the Alameda market, making it an attractive option for first-time buyers, investors, or those seeking a Bay Area pied-à-terre.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 425, other record living area = 945.
At just 425 square feet, the studio layout offers very compact living quarters, which may limit appeal for buyers requiring more storage or distinct living and sleeping areas.
The monthly association fee of $588 is relatively high given the unit's size and list price, which could impact the overall monthly affordability and return on investment for some buyers.
