Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1970, making it over 50 years old. While the description states 'move in ready' and the images show a generally clean and maintained interior with fresh paint, the kitchens and bathrooms are significantly outdated. Kitchens feature older style cabinets (some painted), basic laminate or tile countertops, basic appliances (one black electric range, one white electric range), and fluorescent strip lighting. Bathrooms have basic fixtures and dated tile work. Flooring is a mix of worn tile and dark, possibly worn, wood/laminate. Heating appears to be wall-mounted units, not central HVAC. These elements indicate that while the property is functional and has received some cosmetic upkeep, it has not undergone extensive modern renovations within the last 15-30 years, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Residential Income Property: As a triplex, this property offers multiple income streams, making it an attractive investment for generating rental revenue or for an owner-occupant to offset living costs.
Diverse Unit Mix: The property features a large 4-bedroom townhouse and two separate 2-bedroom units, catering to a broad range of tenant needs and potentially maximizing rental income.
Gated Off-Street Parking: The provision of 3+ off-street gated parking spots is a significant advantage in an urban area like Oakland, offering security and convenience for tenants.
Tenant Amenities: Shared amenities such as a coin-operated laundry room and a lounging area enhance tenant convenience and can contribute to property appeal and additional income.
Move-in Ready Condition: The property is described as 'Move in ready,' suggesting it is in good, habitable condition, reducing immediate renovation costs and allowing for quick occupancy.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1970, the property is over 50 years old, which may imply potential for aging systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and higher long-term maintenance or capital expenditure requirements.
Lack of Detailed Renovation Information: While 'Move in ready,' the description lacks specifics on recent renovations or modern upgrades, which could mean interiors are dated and may require future investment to maximize rental value.
Limited Neighborhood Context: The description provides minimal detail about the specific characteristics, amenities, or desirability of the 'residential neighborhood' on Seminary Avenue, which could be a point of concern for buyers unfamiliar with the immediate area.
