Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1926, this property is aged but appears to be maintained to a basic standard. The kitchen features older white cabinets, laminate countertops, and dated appliances (e.g., coil-top stove), while the bathroom includes a pedestal sink and older-style tiles, indicating no recent renovations. Although some areas have newer laminate flooring, the overall condition of the key living spaces is significantly outdated, requiring substantial updates to meet modern expectations, despite being functional and livable.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment Versatility: The property is explicitly marketed as suitable for both owner-occupancy and investment, with an option to purchase alongside a similar nearby property, enhancing its appeal to a broader market.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Conveniently located just a 4-minute drive from Coliseum BART and minutes from the airport, offering excellent connectivity for commuters and travelers.
Recent Price Reduction: A significant price drop from $399,000 to $349,000 makes the property more competitive and attractive to potential buyers seeking value.
Practical Outdoor Features: Benefits from a long driveway, providing ample off-street parking, and a sizeable 2500 sqft lot, offering potential for outdoor use or future landscaping.
Proximity to Amenities: Close to shopping, the renowned Oakland Zoo, and various parks, contributing to a desirable lifestyle and convenience for residents.
Cons
Compact Living Space: With only 658 sqft, the interior living area is quite small, which may limit its appeal to individuals or small households and could be a constraint for those needing more space.
Valuation Discrepancy: The current listing price of $349,000 is 28% higher than the estimated property value of $248,256.71, potentially raising concerns about market value and financing for buyers.
Age of Property: Built in 1926, the home is nearly a century old, which could imply the need for significant updates to major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or potential for higher ongoing maintenance costs.
