Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1956, this property is explicitly described as a 'fixer-upper' requiring 'extensive renovation' and having 'outdated systems/finishes.' While the exterior image doesn't show structural collapse, the age and description strongly indicate that major components, including the kitchen, bathrooms, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems, are likely original or very old and will require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort. The lack of interior photos prevents a detailed assessment of specific features, but the overall condition points to a property needing significant investment beyond minor updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in a 'fantastic neighborhood' within the 'COLLEGE DISTRICT,' offering a highly desirable and convenient location.
Significant Value-Add Potential: Described as a 'fixer-upper' with 'untapped potential,' this property presents a unique opportunity for buyers to customize and significantly increase its value through renovations.
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 6,926 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space for landscaping, expansion, or recreational activities.
Access to Highly-Rated High Schools: The property benefits from proximity to Pinole Valley High (rated 5) and De Anza Senior High (rated 4), offering excellent educational opportunities.
Close to Top-Rated Elementary School: Highland Elementary, with a rating of 4, is conveniently located just 0.43 miles away, appealing to families with young children.
Cons
Requires Extensive Renovation: Explicitly marketed as a 'fixer-upper,' the property will require substantial investment in updates and repairs to reach its full potential.
Outdated Systems/Finishes: Built in 1956, the home likely features original systems and finishes that are nearing the end of their lifespan or are aesthetically dated, necessitating modernization.
Mixed School Ratings for Younger Grades: While some schools are highly rated, several elementary and middle schools in the vicinity have lower ratings (e.g., Bayview Elementary, Pinole Middle), which might be a consideration for some families.
