More Insights
Built in 1912 (114 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1912, the property has undergone a very recent and extensive 'beautifully remodeled' renovation, as stated in the description and clearly visible in the images. The kitchen features new white cabinetry, stylish dark blue/green picket tile backsplash, modern light-colored countertops, new stainless steel appliances (Frigidaire), and contemporary gold-toned fixtures. Both bathrooms are also fully updated with modern vanities, new tile work (subway and hexagonal), new fixtures, and glass shower enclosures. New LVP flooring, recessed lighting, and fresh paint throughout the interior and exterior contribute to a virtually new condition, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Great Schools: Middle School: Lincoln Middle School (9/10). High School: Alameda High School (9/10).
Extensive Modern Remodel: The property has been beautifully remodeled with an updated kitchen (new countertops, backsplash, cabinetry, stainless steel appliances), new flooring, recessed lighting, and fresh paint, making it a turnkey, move-in-ready home.
ADU Potential: A detached rear structure offers significant potential for future Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, providing an opportunity for additional income or living space.
Functional Bonus Space: The inclusion of a bonus room/office adds valuable flexible space, catering to modern living needs such as remote work or an extra bedroom.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Situated in the heart of Oakland, the home boasts excellent proximity to shops, dining, and public transit, enhancing convenience and desirability.
Charming Curb Appeal: The property features charming curb appeal with a low-maintenance landscaped front yard, creating an inviting first impression.
Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-03-24. The sold price is $420,000.00.
Age of Property: Built in 1912, the underlying structure is over a century old, which, despite extensive remodels, may raise concerns about original infrastructure or potential for unforeseen maintenance related to its age.
Conditional ADU Potential: The ADU potential requires buyer verification, implying additional time, cost, and regulatory hurdles to realize, rather than being a ready-to-use feature.
No Mention of Cooling System: The description highlights numerous upgrades but does not mention a cooling system (e.g., air conditioning), which could be a drawback during warmer months in Oakland.
