Condition Rating
Good
This 1915 Craftsman home has been thoughtfully updated, featuring a modern kitchen with stainless steel appliances, updated cabinets, and solid surface countertops. The bathrooms also appear updated with contemporary fixtures. Key structural and aesthetic improvements include dual-pane windows, a newer roof, and fresh paint inside and out. Original oak floors and architectural details are well-maintained, blending seamlessly with the modern updates. While the property's age (1915) suggests potential underlying older infrastructure, the significant renovations to critical areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, roof, and windows make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. The light fixtures are a mix of modern and classic, all in good condition. The primary weakness is the absence of central air conditioning, which is common for homes of this vintage but doesn't detract from its overall 'good' condition.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Walkability: Located in the highly sought-after NOBE neighborhood, boasting a 91 Walk Score and 100 Bike Score, with unparalleled access to Ashby BART, major freeways (24 & 580), and popular local amenities like Berkeley Bowl, Temescal, and Rockridge.
Preserved Character with Modern Upgrades: A charming 1915 Craftsman that beautifully blends original architectural details such as oak floors, built-ins, wainscoting, and coffered ceilings with thoughtful modern updates in the kitchen and bathrooms, dual-pane windows, and a newer roof.
ADU Potential: The detached two-car garage at the rear of the property offers significant potential for conversion into an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), providing opportunities for rental income or flexible living arrangements.
Move-in Ready Condition: The property has been freshly painted inside and out, and includes recent upgrades like dual-pane windows and a newer roof, minimizing immediate maintenance and allowing for a smooth transition for new owners.
Abundant Natural Light & Functional Layout: Bedrooms benefit from southern-facing sun exposure, ensuring ample natural light, complemented by a traditional layout featuring a formal dining room, living room, and welcoming foyer.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1560, other record living area = 1347. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Older Infrastructure Concerns: As a 1915 build, despite updates, the property may still have original plumbing, electrical, or foundation components that could require future maintenance or significant investment not explicitly covered by recent renovations.
Limited Outdoor Space: The 3,675 sqft lot size is relatively modest for a single-family home, which may limit extensive outdoor activities, gardening, or large-scale entertaining areas beyond the existing footprint.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: Typical for homes of this vintage, the property description does not mention central air conditioning, which could be a comfort consideration during warmer months in Oakland.
