Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1938, the home is well-preserved and functional but significantly dated. The bathroom features tile-top vanities and fixtures that appear to be 30+ years old, and while the wood paneling and floors have been refurbished, the kitchen and mechanical systems lack recent updates, requiring modernization.
The property features tiered decks that offer breathtaking, unobstructed views of the Bay Bridge and San Francisco skyline, epitomizing the sought-after Oakland Hills lifestyle.
This 1938 jewel boasts beautifully refurbished wood-paneled walls and a classic brick fireplace, blending vintage charm with a warm, sophisticated interior aesthetic.
The layout includes a flexible den and a lower-level studio space with direct outdoor access, providing excellent options for a home office or creative retreat.
The local assigned schools carry low performance ratings (ranging from 1 to 4), which may be a significant concern for families and impact future appreciation.
With 1,366 square feet of living space and multiple potential bedrooms/offices, the presence of only one bathroom may pose a functional challenge for many buyers.
