Despite being built in 1912, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully remodeled in 2020 and 2021 respectively, featuring modern stainless steel appliances, white shaker cabinets, updated countertops, and new tile. Key systems like electrical, furnace, water heater, and plumbing are all 'newer,' and it boasts new double-pane windows and wood floors. The images confirm a virtually new and modern interior, aligning perfectly with the 'Excellent' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Berkeley Location: Situated in a highly sought-after area, minutes from UC Berkeley, Downtown Berkeley, shopping, restaurants, and freeways, offering exceptional convenience and walkability.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: The condo boasts recent kitchen and bathroom remodels (2020/2021), new double-pane windows, newer electrical system, furnace, tankless water heater, and copper plumbing, providing a turn-key modern living space.
Park Views & Abundant Natural Light: As a first-floor unit overlooking Ohlone Park and described as 'very sunny,' it offers pleasant views and a bright, inviting atmosphere.
In-Unit Laundry: The inclusion of inside laundry with a washer/dryer is a significant and highly desirable amenity for condo living, adding convenience.
Updated Core Infrastructure: Key system updates like newer electrical, furnace, tankless water heater, and copper plumbing address common concerns with older buildings, reducing immediate maintenance worries.
Cons
Compact Size & Bedroom Count: As a 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit at 721 sqft, its size and layout may limit the buyer pool primarily to singles or couples.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $450 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, adding a significant recurring cost to homeownership that could impact affordability.
Historic Building Age: Despite extensive unit-specific upgrades, the 1912 building age could imply potential for future building-wide maintenance or special assessments not covered by the current HOA fee.
