Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1924, this triplex shows signs of regular maintenance and some cosmetic updates like fresh paint and some newer flooring. However, the kitchens and bathrooms are functional but clearly dated in style and features, likely from a renovation 15-30 years ago. For example, the kitchen features older light wood cabinets, speckled countertops, and a basic white refrigerator, while the bathroom has a simple fiberglass tub surround and older floor tiles. While move-in ready, these key areas would benefit from minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Triplex: The property is a triplex delivered vacant, offering significant flexibility for investors seeking strong rental income or owner-occupants looking to live in one unit and rent out the others.
Vacant Delivery: Being delivered vacant allows for immediate occupancy, renovation, or tenant placement without the complexities of existing leases or tenant relocation.
Excellent Walk & Bike Scores: With an 89 Walk Score and 93 Bike Score, the property boasts high accessibility to local shops, eateries, and public transit in Oakland's vibrant Little Saigon neighborhood.
Separately Metered Units: All units are separately metered for water and PG&E, simplifying utility management and cost allocation for both landlords and tenants.
Off-Street Parking & Large Yard: The property includes off-street parking for up to 3 vehicles, a rare and valuable amenity in an urban location, complemented by a large rear yard for outdoor space.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1924, the property is nearly a century old, which may imply potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical) and higher maintenance or renovation costs.
Significant Price Discrepancy: The current list price of $650,000 is substantially lower than its 2018 sale price of $880,000, which could indicate deferred maintenance, market shifts, or other underlying issues requiring further investigation.
Lack of Mentioned Updates: The description does not specify any recent renovations or modernizations, suggesting that the interior finishes and systems may be original or dated, potentially requiring significant investment from a new owner.
