Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1975, this property is aged. While it benefits from updates such as laminate flooring, granite kitchen countertops, and double-paned windows, the visible bathroom elements (cabinet style, light fixture) suggest these renovations are not recent, likely falling into the 15-30 year old range. The exterior also shows signs of age. The property is maintained and functional but shows signs of being outdated and would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to align with current styles.
Pros & Cons

Income-Generating Triplex: This is a desirable three-unit residential building, perfect for savvy investors, 1031 exchangers, or first-time homebuyers looking to live in one unit and collect rental income from the others.
Updated Unit Interiors: Units are in good condition featuring modern upgrades such as laminated flooring throughout, granite kitchen countertops, and double-paned windows, enhancing tenant appeal and reducing immediate renovation needs.
Individual Unit Amenities: Each unit benefits from its own car garage and private backyard, offering significant convenience, privacy, and added value for residents.
Excellent Commuter Location: The property boasts a highly convenient location with close proximity to public transportation, Hayward BART Station, major freeways (880 and 580), and is minutes away from San Francisco, the South Bay, and both SFO and OAK International Airports.
Proximity to Local Amenities: Conveniently located near Cherryland Elementary School, supermarkets, restaurants, and shops, providing easy access to daily necessities and community resources.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1975, while units have interior updates, the underlying structure and major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof) may be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or replacement not explicitly mentioned.
Recent Price Reduction: The listing shows a recent price drop from $1.199M to $1.179M, which could indicate a need for more competitive pricing or a lack of initial buyer interest at the original asking price.
Mixed Elementary School Ratings: While close to Cherryland Elementary, its rating of 2 might be a consideration for families prioritizing higher-rated elementary schools, potentially limiting a segment of the buyer/tenant pool.
