Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1925, this property is explicitly described as 'in need of full renovation' for both units. The exterior image shows significant deferred maintenance with faded and peeling paint, and older windows. Without interior images, the description strongly indicates that kitchens, bathrooms, and all major systems are severely outdated, likely non-functional, and require substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and habitability. This aligns with the 'poor' condition criteria, requiring extensive work beyond minor updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Multi-Unit Income Property: The property is a duplex, offering two distinct 1-bedroom, 1-bath units, providing immediate potential for dual rental income streams.
ADU Development Potential: Situated on an ample 6000 sqft lot, there's a clear opportunity to add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), significantly increasing rental income and property value (subject to city approval).
Strategic Location for Commuters: Its proximity to I-880, Coliseum BART, and Oakland Airport offers excellent accessibility, making it attractive to renters and commuters.
Significant Value-Add Opportunity: Explicitly marketed as an 'investor special' and a 'prime canvas,' it appeals to buyers seeking to capitalize on renovation and repositioning for higher returns.
Ample Lot Size: The generous 6000 sqft lot provides flexibility for expansion, landscaping, and supports the ADU potential, enhancing its long-term value.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: Both units are in 'full need of renovation,' indicating substantial capital expenditure, time, and project management will be required from the buyer.
Older Property with Potential System Issues: Built in 1925, the property is likely to have outdated infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and structural elements that will necessitate significant upgrades during the renovation process.
Low-Rated Local Schools: The presence of multiple nearby schools with low ratings (1-3) may deter family-oriented buyers, potentially limiting the market appeal beyond pure investors.
