Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Built in 1912 but features significant modern upgrades including seismic retrofitting, a newer foundation, on-demand water heater, and double-pane windows. The interior is well-maintained and move-in ready with updated flooring and stainless steel appliances, though it retains original Craftsman architectural elements.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Preserved Craftsman Character
The home retains its 1912 charm with original architectural details including high coved ceilings, wainscotting, and built-ins, offering timeless aesthetic appeal that is highly sought after in North Oakland.
- Extensive Structural Upgrades
Significant investments in seismic retrofitting, foundation work, new siding, and a copper water main provide long-term durability and peace of mind regarding future maintenance costs.
- Modern Primary Suite
The inclusion of a private upstairs primary suite featuring its own south-facing deck adds a modern luxury element and functional privacy rarely found in original Craftsman layouts.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Compact Living Space
With only 1,195 square feet distributed across three bedrooms and three bathrooms, the interior living areas and individual rooms may feel constrained for larger households.
- Low Local School Ratings
The property is served by several schools with low performance ratings, such as Sankofa Academy (1/10), which could impact long-term resale value for families prioritizing education.
