Property is move-in ready.

The property is move-in ready and successfully blends its 1912 historic character with modern updates. The kitchen has been updated and the bathroom has been fully renovated into a spa-inspired space. While the home retains original features like hardwood floors and built-ins, the overall maintenance and key room upgrades meet the criteria for a well-maintained, functional home without the need for immediate renovation.

PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES

  • Preserved Character with Modern Updates

    The home masterfully blends 1912 architectural details like original hardwood floors and custom built-ins with a contemporary spa-inspired bathroom and updated kitchen.

  • Ample Storage and Expansion Potential

    Beyond the 1,551 square feet of living space, the property features a dedicated storage room and an unfinished basement, offering significant utility and future growth potential.

  • Desirable Maxwell Park Location

    Situated in the sought-after Maxwell Park neighborhood, this home offers a move-in-ready experience with a spacious backyard and a long driveway for convenient off-street parking.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES

  • MLS Listing Discrepancy

    Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.

  • Limited Bathroom Count

    With three bedrooms but only one bathroom, the layout may present a challenge for larger households or guests, potentially impacting long-term convenience.

  • Vintage Infrastructure Risks

    As a structure built in 1912, the property may require ongoing maintenance or future seismic and system upgrades typical of century-old homes in the East Bay.
