Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1906, this property is over 100 years old and explicitly described as needing a 'lot of TLC' and being an investor opportunity. While it has a new foundation, the requirement for significant rehabilitation of the units and the lack of recent interior updates to kitchens, baths, or systems place it in the poor category.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Adams Point Location
Situated in the highly sought-after Adams Point neighborhood, the property offers exceptional proximity to Lake Merritt, Piedmont Avenue, and major commuter routes like I-580, ensuring high rental demand.
- Structural Integrity
The inclusion of a brand-new foundation is a massive value-add for a 1906 Craftsman, mitigating one of the most expensive risks associated with older properties.
- Significant Value-Add Potential
With a large 5,175 sq. ft. lot, off-street parking, and flexible unit configurations, there is substantial opportunity for investors to increase equity through renovation and potential expansion.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Extensive Renovation Required
The property is explicitly noted as needing 'a lot of TLC,' indicating that significant upfront capital and construction management will be required to make it habitable or market-ready.
- Low Local School Ratings
The assigned elementary and middle schools carry low ratings (2/10), which may limit the appeal for long-term owner-occupants with school-aged children.
