Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Good
TeardownExcellent
Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1936, the interior shows signs of a mid-range renovation (likely 10-20 years ago) featuring recessed lighting, updated ceiling fans, and well-maintained hardwood floors with decorative inlays. The home appears move-in ready and functional, meeting the criteria for a well-maintained older home with significant updates.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Versatile Living Space
The tri-level layout includes multiple bonus rooms and a family room, offering the rare potential to configure the home as a 5 or 6-bedroom residence to accommodate large families or rental opportunities.
- Prime Corner Lot
Situated on an expansive 5,400 sqft corner lot near the San Leandro border, the property provides enhanced curb appeal, increased natural light, and significant outdoor space compared to standard interior lots.
- Classic Architectural Charm
Built in 1936, the home features desirable period details including original hardwood floors and a light-filled open floor plan that seamlessly connects the living and formal dining areas.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Density per Square Foot
While the home offers many rooms, the total living area is 1,375 sqft, which may result in smaller individual room sizes and a cramped feel if fully utilized as a 5 or 6-bedroom home.
- Vintage Infrastructure Risks
Due to the 1936 construction date, the property may require significant capital investment to modernize aging electrical, plumbing, or insulation systems typical of homes from this era.
