More Insights
Built in 2009 (16 years old).
Condition: Built in 2009, this property is 15 years old and appears to be in excellent, well-maintained condition. The kitchen features good quality honey oak/maple cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all functional and clean, though the style reflects its build year rather than a recent high-end renovation. Bathrooms similarly feature matching cabinetry and granite. Flooring is a mix of tile and hardwood, both in good condition. High ceilings, recessed lighting, and overall finishes are consistent with a well-built home of its age. It is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, fitting the 'Good' criteria perfectly.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Bay Views: The property boasts panoramic bay views from almost all rooms, including a primary suite balcony, offering a premium and desirable living experience.
Versatile In-Law Unit: A dedicated 600 sq/ft in-law unit with a separate entrance, living area, bath, and kitchenette provides excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or potential rental income.
Modern & Spacious Design: Custom-built in 2009, the home features high cathedral ceilings, a gourmet kitchen with an island, grand living/dining rooms, and a flex/game room, offering ample space and contemporary amenities.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located near schools (Bishop O’Dowd HS & Barack Obama Academy), King Estate Park, and the Oakland Zoo, with easy access to the 580 freeway and BART, enhancing daily convenience and commute options.
Generous Accommodation: With 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, including 2 en-suites and a Jack-and-Jill bath, the home is well-suited for large families or those requiring extensive guest space.
Cons
Multi-Level Layout: The multi-level design, while optimizing views, may present accessibility challenges for some buyers, particularly those with mobility concerns or a preference for single-story living.
Mixed Public School Performance: Several nearby public schools, such as Castlemont High (rating 1) and Fremont High (rating 2), have lower performance ratings, which could be a significant consideration for families prioritizing highly-rated public education.
Limited Expansive Outdoor Space: For a custom-built home of 3631 sqft, the 6649 sqft lot size might offer less expansive private outdoor living or yard space than some buyers might expect or desire for a property of this caliber.
