Property is moderate renovation needed.
While the home features a partially updated kitchen with stone countertops and stainless steel appliances (likely 15-20 years old), the 1952 structure is being sold 'as-is' and explicitly requires cosmetic updates and repairs. The flooring shows wear, and the overall condition reflects a property that is functional but dated and in need of minor rehabilitation.
At 1,540 square feet, this ranch-style home offers a generous and functional floor plan that is larger than many comparable homes of its era, providing comfortable everyday living on a single level.
The property is ideally positioned for commuters with easy access to I-880, Highway 92, and Highway 238, facilitating efficient travel across the East Bay and toward the Peninsula or Silicon Valley.
Featuring a solid foundation with stone countertops and hard-surface flooring, this home presents an excellent opportunity for investors or handy homeowners to build equity through cosmetic updates and personalized renovations.
The property is being sold in its present as-is condition and requires deferred maintenance and cosmetic repairs, which will necessitate immediate additional investment post-purchase.
The nearest elementary school has a low rating of 2/10, which may be a concern for families prioritizing education and could impact the property's future appreciation compared to higher-rated districts.
