Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1912 with renovations (kitchen cabinets, granite counters, and laminate flooring) that appear to be 15-20+ years old. While the home is functional and 'immediately livable,' the presence of portable space heaters in multiple rooms suggests an outdated or inadequate central HVAC system. The property is sold 'as-is' and requires cosmetic and systemic modernization to meet current standards.
The property is situated on RU-4 zoning, offering significant future flexibility and potential for development or expansion in a high-demand urban corridor.
Ideally positioned near the MacArthur BART station and major transit routes, providing exceptional regional accessibility to San Francisco, Berkeley, and Silicon Valley.
This 1912 Craftsman features a rare 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout with authentic period details, offering substantial interior space and curb appeal at a competitive price point.
The property is being sold in as-is condition, indicating that buyers should budget for potential repairs, modernizations, or deferred maintenance to reach its full market value.
The immediate assigned public schools, such as Hoover Elementary and Westlake Middle, have low performance ratings, which may be a drawback for families prioritizing public education.

Situated on RU-4 zoning, the property may offer additional future flexibility and development potential for buyers to explore (buyer to verify).
