Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1920, the property appears to have undergone significant recent cosmetic updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, updated laminate countertops, a clean white gas range, and new stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, stackable washer/dryer). The flooring throughout the main living areas is a consistent, light wood-look laminate/vinyl plank, which looks new. An updated electrical panel is visible. While the heating system is an older wall-mounted unit and there's no central HVAC, the visible interior spaces are clean, functional, and aesthetically pleasing, suggesting renovations within the last 5-15 years. The exterior is maintained, though the screened porch looks a bit dated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Generous Lot Size: The property boasts a substantial 3250 sqft lot, offering significant outdoor space and potential for future expansion or the addition of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU).
Walkable to Highly-Rated Elementary School: Located within walking distance (0.34 miles) of Acorn Woodland Elementary School, which holds a strong rating of 5, making it attractive for families with young children.
Clean and Well-Maintained: Described as a 'clean 1 bedroom home,' suggesting it is in good, move-in ready condition, potentially minimizing immediate renovation expenses for a buyer.
Single-Family Home Status: As a single-family residence, it offers the desirable benefits of privacy, no HOA fees, and land ownership, which is highly valued in the Oakland market.
Potential for Value Addition: The combination of a large lot and a compact 560 sqft structure presents a clear opportunity for buyers to expand the existing home or develop an ADU, significantly increasing its long-term value.
Cons
Limited Living Space: With only 560 sqft, the property offers very limited interior living space, which may restrict its appeal to a niche market of individuals or couples.
Single Bedroom Configuration: The home features only one bedroom, significantly narrowing the potential buyer pool and making it unsuitable for most families or those requiring additional rooms for guests or a home office.
Age of Property: Built in 1920, the home is over a century old, which could imply outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical), higher maintenance requirements, and potential for costly system upgrades.
