Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1885, this property is explicitly described as a 'value-add opportunity' requiring 'significant capital expenditure for unit renovations and potential system upgrades.' The interior images confirm this, showcasing a very dated kitchen with old-style wood cabinets, basic laminate countertops, and worn tile flooring. Other visible elements like laminate flooring, popcorn ceilings, and simple, older light fixtures throughout the units indicate a need for substantial rehabilitation to meet current quality standards. While functional, it requires significant investment to address its outdated condition and potential system issues.
With 50% vacancy (two units) and two occupied units at below-market rents, this property offers substantial immediate and long-term upside through strategic leasing and unit improvements.
The property boasts 10+ on-site parking spaces, a rare and highly desirable amenity in Oakland that enhances tenant appeal and property value.
The character-rich Victorian fourplex, built in 1885, offers unique architectural charm that can attract tenants and owner-users seeking properties with distinct historical appeal.
Two units are currently occupied by long-term, month-to-month tenants at below-market rents, which may require careful management and potential investment to reposition and maximize income.
As a 'value-add opportunity' in an 1885 building, significant capital expenditure will likely be necessary for unit renovations and potential system upgrades to achieve market-rate rents and optimize property performance.
Located in Oakland, the property is subject to stringent rent control and tenant protection laws, which could impact rent increases, tenant relations, and overall investment strategy.
Exceptional value-add investment and development opportunity in Oakland — a rare 5-unit offering on a combined 10,435 sq ft lot with room for 10+ on-site parking spaces.
