Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1920, this property has undergone significant recent cosmetic updates, including new interior and exterior paint, refinished hardwood floors, and newer double-pane windows in the front bungalow. The top unit of the rear duplex also features a recently updated bathroom, refinished hardwood floors, newer paint, and light fixtures. While the kitchens are not explicitly mentioned or shown as updated, the overall condition suggests the property is move-in ready with no immediate major renovations required. The bathrooms, though not high-end, appear functional and recently refreshed. The unfinished basement indicates some original elements, but the visible areas are well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for a property with updated components that hasn't undergone a full recent renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Income Potential: The property features two distinct structures on one lot: a 2-bedroom bungalow and a two-story duplex (each 1 bed/1 bath), offering significant rental income opportunities or multi-generational living arrangements.
Recent Updates & Renovations: Both properties have received recent updates, including refinished hardwood floors, new interior/exterior paint, newer/dual pane windows, and an updated bathroom in the top duplex unit, enhancing their appeal and readiness.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located close to Emeryville shopping and major highways (80, 580, 24), providing excellent convenience for commuting and access to a wide range of amenities.
Generous Lot Size: Situated on a substantial 6,000 square foot lot, offering ample outdoor space for landscaping, recreation, or potential future expansion (subject to local zoning).
Charming Original Details: The front bungalow retains classic architectural features such as wood trim, paneling in the dining room, built-in cabinetry, and a fireplace, adding character and historical charm.
Cons
Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: Built in 1920, the property, despite recent cosmetic updates, may still have underlying older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that could require significant future investment.
Unfinished Basement: The presence of an 'unfinished basement' represents unrealized potential but currently lacks usable finished space and would require substantial additional investment to convert into functional living areas.
Discrepancy in Listed Bedroom/Bathroom Count: The primary listing details state 2 beds/1 bath, which only accounts for the front bungalow, potentially causing confusion or understating the total living units and bedroom/bathroom count across all structures on the property.
