Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1952 and explicitly marketed as a 'fixer,' this property is over 70 years old with no evidence of recent renovations. The kitchen and bathroom are original/dated and require full remodeling, and the interior features aged wood paneling and worn hardwood floors, necessitating a comprehensive rehab.
Centrally located with convenient access to Highway 580, public transportation, and recreational amenities like Lake Chabot Regional Park, enhancing long-term value.
The property is served by highly-rated schools, including Chabot Elementary and Castro Valley High, which is a major draw for families and supports property appreciation.
Situated on a spacious 6,200 sq. ft. lot with original hardwood floors, the property offers a significant footprint for expansion and creative personalization.
As a designated fixer-upper, the home requires a substantial capital investment to modernize the kitchen, bathroom, and overall interior systems.
The 3-bedroom, 1-bathroom configuration is less desirable for modern family needs and may limit the buyer pool compared to homes with multiple bathrooms.
Great opportunity to own a 3-bedroom, 1-bath home with approximately 1,080 sq. ft. of living space, a 2-car garage, and a spacious 6,200 sq. ft. lot. The home retains its original hardwood flooring and offers a traditional floor plan with plenty of potential for renovation and personalization. The open living room features a fireplace and picture window providing abundant natural light, with a dining area conveniently adjacent. The kitchen is ready for remodeling, while the three bedrooms and hall bathroom are located down the hallway. Centrally located with easy access to Lake Chabot Regional Park, the community center, Chabot College, shopping, Highway 580, and public transportation. This fixer offers a desirable location, generous lot, and an excellent opportunity to create a home tailored to your vision.
