More Insights
Built in 1942 (84 years old).
Condition: While the property benefits from new flooring and fresh interior paint, the kitchen and main bathroom are severely outdated, appearing to be from a renovation 30-50 years ago. The kitchen features old laminate countertops, dated wood cabinets, and older appliances (except for a mismatched dishwasher). The main bathroom has a beige tub, dated tiles, and an old vanity. The home, built in 1942, also relies on wall heaters, indicating a lack of modern central HVAC. These major components require substantial rehabilitation, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria despite recent cosmetic updates.

About this home
Welcome to the unique Davis east home. This is a 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, and 4 car garage home on a 6400 square foot lot. There is new flooring and interior paint. The front driveway, up to the gate is 35'. From the gate to the end of the lot is 152', plenty of parking for an RV/Boat/Trailer. The garage has 100 amp service, as does the house. The garage is equiped with a roll up door to get your toys inside. This is a car/machinist dream property. Tons of parking and a place to do the work. All located on a quaint little San Leandro street. You should really take a look at this home! When compared to homes of similar size, this home just provides more! More bathrooms, more space in living and dining areas, more yard and more parking. The garage may also be a possible ADU site. There is no water or sewer in that building, it would have to be added. Please visit city of San Leandro for information regarding permts for ADU

Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Parking & Storage: The property boasts a 4-car garage, a 35' front driveway, and 152' of rear lot space, providing extensive parking for multiple vehicles, RVs, boats, or trailers, ideal for hobbyists or collectors.
ADU Conversion Potential: The large garage presents a clear opportunity for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion, offering significant future value and potential for rental income or multi-generational living.
Recent Cosmetic Updates: New flooring and fresh interior paint enhance the home's immediate appeal, providing a move-in ready aesthetic and reducing initial renovation costs for the buyer.
Robust Electrical Service: Both the house and garage are equipped with 100 amp electrical service, supporting heavy-duty equipment, workshops, or future electrical demands without immediate upgrades.
Generous Lot Size: The 6400 square foot lot offers ample outdoor space, contributing to the extensive parking capacity and providing potential for further landscaping or property expansion.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 980, other record living area = 882.
Significant ADU Development Costs: While offering ADU potential, the garage currently lacks water and sewer connections, indicating substantial additional investment and effort required for a functional conversion.
Older Home Systems (Implied): Built in 1942, the property may have original or aging core systems (e.g., plumbing, HVAC) that could require future maintenance, repair, or replacement, despite recent cosmetic updates.
Limited Bedroom Count for Price: With only 2 bedrooms for a 980 sqft home at a list price of $699,000, it may not meet the needs of larger families or those seeking more living space, potentially narrowing the buyer pool.
