Condition Rating
Fair
This 1915 property is aged but appears to be maintained. While some areas, particularly the bathrooms, show evidence of recent updates (modern vanities, granite countertops, tiled showers, modern fixtures), the main living spaces retain much of their original character with dated light fixtures, dark wood trim, and a classic fireplace. The kitchen's condition is not clearly visible in the images, but the overall impression is that it's not a fully renovated home. The exterior landscaping is neglected. The property requires minor updates and repairs to bring all areas to a consistent, modern standard, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Unique Multi-Use Potential: The property offers a rare combination of a classic 1915 custom home, a 'Great Western Saloon,' and a 2-bedroom unit above the garage, providing exceptional flexibility for live/work, rental income, or specialized commercial ventures.
Exceptional Lot Size & Privacy: With a substantial 30,849 sqft (over 0.7 acres) private lot, the property offers ample outdoor space and a secluded setting, which is highly desirable, especially for a downtown location.
Historic Charm & Grand Scale: As a 'Classic Large 1915 Custom home' spanning 4146 sqft, it possesses significant architectural character and generous living areas, appealing to buyers seeking unique, spacious properties with historical appeal.
Prime Downtown Location: Situated 'Near Downtown!!' Hayward, the property benefits from a central and convenient location, offering easy access to local amenities, transportation, and urban conveniences.
Recent Price Adjustment: The significant price reduction from $2.9M to $2.45M demonstrates seller motivation and positions the property more competitively, potentially attracting a wider range of serious buyers.
Cons
Advanced Age & Potential for Costly Upgrades: Built in 1915, the property's age suggests a high likelihood of requiring substantial investment in updating major systems (e.g., electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and general maintenance to meet modern standards and comfort expectations.
Niche Market Appeal: The highly unique configuration, including the 'saloon' and separate unit, caters to a very specific buyer demographic, which could limit the pool of interested parties and potentially extend the property's time on the market.
Complexity of Use/Zoning: The presence of a 'Great Western Saloon' implies potential commercial zoning or specific permitting requirements that could be complex for a residential buyer to navigate or convert for their intended use.
