Condition Rating
Good

This 1951-built home is in 'good' condition, aligning with the 'move-in ready with no immediate renovation required' criteria. The kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and the hardwood floors throughout are well-maintained. The presence of mini-split AC units indicates an updated cooling/heating system. While the bathrooms are clean and functional, their fixtures and finishes appear stylistically dated, preventing an 'excellent' rating. However, the property is described as 'turnkey' and major systems are functional, indicating good overall maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Panoramic Bay Views: The property offers expansive panoramic bay views, including Downtown, from multiple areas, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
ADU/Income Potential: The split-level design includes a lower level with a bedroom, bathroom, family room, laundry, and separate access, presenting excellent potential for an ADU, in-law unit, or rental income.
Updated Key Living Spaces: The kitchen and dining room have been updated, providing modern and functional spaces for daily living and entertaining.
Prime Location & Recreation Access: Situated in the desirable Chabot Park neighborhood on a quiet street with no through traffic, the home offers tranquility and is minutes from the Oakland Zoo, Lake Chabot Golf Course, and Anthony Chabot Regional Park.
Oversized Lot & Outdoor Potential: The property sits on an oversized 6480 sqft lot with a private rear patio and a yard featuring native oaks and garden beds, offering significant potential for outdoor living, relaxation, and gardening.

Cons

Age of Property: Built in 1951, the mid-century home may have older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC systems) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Mixed School Ratings: Several nearby high schools have low ratings (1s and 2s), which could be a concern for buyers prioritizing highly-rated public education options.
Backyard Requires Vision/Investment: The description states the 'rear yard is ready for your vision,' implying that while it has potential, it may require additional landscaping or development investment to fully realize its aesthetic and functional capabilities.
