Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1972, the property is in fair condition, showing a mix of original features and partial updates. While some rooms feature newer laminate flooring and the bathroom has an updated vanity, the home retains dated elements like popcorn ceilings and wall-mounted heaters. The overall quality suggests a well-maintained but aged starter home that requires cosmetic modernization to meet current standards.
The property is ideally situated near Richmond BART, the Ferry Terminal, and major freeways, providing convenient access to San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley.
This home features a desirable primary suite and a 2-car attached garage with interior access, offering a level of utility often missing in entry-level properties.
Priced competitively for the East Bay, this 4-bedroom residence represents a solid opportunity for first-time buyers or investors seeking high rental demand.
With 4 bedrooms configured within only 1,100 square feet, the individual room sizes and common areas may feel significantly cramped for larger families.
The local assigned schools have low performance ratings, which may be a concern for families and could impact future resale value.
