Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1925, is well-maintained and appears functional, but the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathroom, shows significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features traditional light wood cabinets, an older white dishwasher, and very dated fluorescent ceiling lights. The bathroom has an older vanity and fixtures. While clean, these areas would require minor to moderate updates to meet current aesthetic and functional standards. The flooring is a mix of carpet and laminate, and light fixtures throughout are traditional and not modern. The overall condition suggests regular upkeep but no major renovations in the last 15-30 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Price Reduction: The property has seen a substantial price drop from its original list price of $479,000 to $410,000, indicating a potential value opportunity for buyers.
Versatile Bonus Room: An 'extra-bonus room in the back yard' provides flexible space that can be utilized as a home office, studio, gym, or for additional storage, adding functional value.
Charming & Welcoming Interior: The description highlights a 'beautiful home' with a 'very welcoming living room' and 'great kitchen and dining room,' suggesting an appealing and comfortable living environment.
Established Neighborhood: Located in the EASTMONT subdivision of Oakland, the property benefits from being in an established community with existing infrastructure and amenities.
Manageable Size: With 905 sqft and a 2556 sqft lot, the home offers a compact and potentially low-maintenance living space, suitable for individuals or small households.
Cons
Small Lot Size: The 2556 sqft lot is relatively small, which may limit outdoor living space, gardening opportunities, or future expansion potential for the property.
Age of Property: Built in 1925, the home is nearly a century old, which could imply outdated systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) or require significant maintenance and upgrades to meet modern standards.
Limited Bedroom/Bathroom Count: With only 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, the property may not accommodate larger families or those requiring more private spaces, potentially limiting its market appeal.
