The property underwent a full condo conversion and systems upgrade in 2015 (approx. 11 years ago). The kitchen and bathrooms feature modern finishes, including stainless steel appliances and subway tiling. While the condition appears mint and move-in ready, the renovation age falls within the 5-15 year range defined for a 'Good' rating.
Situated just 0.5 miles from MacArthur BART and near major bike routes, this property offers exceptional transit connectivity to Emeryville, Temescal, and Berkeley.
The inclusion of both a secure detached one-car garage and an additional deeded parking spot is a significant and rare value-add for a townhome in this high-density area.
With a 2015 conversion featuring full system upgrades, a contemporary kitchen, and a private landscaped patio, the home offers a move-in-ready experience with a very low $100 HOA fee.
The immediate assigned public schools, such as Hoover Elementary and McClymonds High, have low performance ratings, which may impact long-term appreciation and appeal to families.
Located on 40th Street near bus pickups and major thoroughfares, the property is subject to higher levels of ambient street noise and urban activity.
No exterior & parking available.
