Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1920, this property is over 100 years old. While some areas like the living room show recent cosmetic updates with new laminate flooring and fresh paint, the bathroom is significantly outdated with pink/peach wall tiles, old fixtures, and a dated light fixture, suggesting a renovation 30-50+ years ago. The living area also features a dated brass ceiling fan and a wall-mounted gas heater, indicating a lack of modern central heating/cooling. The absence of kitchen images, despite being described as 'functional,' suggests it is also likely very dated. The property is 'move-in ready' in a basic sense, but requires substantial updates to the kitchen and bathroom, as well as improvements to the HVAC system and light fixtures, to meet current quality and aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Commuter Location: The property offers excellent access to public transit (BART, Transbay buses) and major employment hubs (San Francisco, Silicon Valley), enhancing its appeal for commuters.
First-Time Buyer Appeal & Value: Positioned as 'perfect for first-time home buyers' and listed slightly below its estimated market value, offering an attractive entry point into the Oakland market.
Move-In Ready Condition: The home is explicitly stated as 'Move-In Ready,' reducing immediate renovation costs and effort for new owners.
Practical Amenities & Comfort: Features like plentiful off-street parking, a functional kitchen, spacious living area, and ceiling fans in all bedrooms contribute to daily convenience and comfort.
Neighborhood Convenience: Located in a neighborhood with easy access to local schools, parks, shops, and dining, fostering a convenient and community-oriented lifestyle.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: With only one bathroom for three bedrooms, this could be a significant functional limitation for families or multiple occupants.
Age of Property: Built in 1920, the home may have older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or upgrades, despite being 'move-in ready'.
Subpar School Ratings: Several nearby schools have low ratings (1s and 2s), which might be a deterrent for buyers prioritizing highly-rated public education.
