Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1930, this condo retains significant 'vintage charm' with well-maintained hardwood floors and wood wainscoting. However, the kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, tiled countertops, and older white appliances, while the bathroom has similarly dated tile and fixtures. While functional and livable, these key areas show clear signs of being outdated and would require substantial cosmetic updates to meet modern standards, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but showing signs of being outdated and requiring minor updates.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Central Berkeley Location: The property boasts an exceptional location in Central Berkeley, steps from a bus stop, and within 10 blocks of Shattuck Ave shops, Downtown Berkeley, UC campus, and two BART stations, offering unparalleled convenience and access to amenities.
Vintage Charm & Character: Retains desirable vintage charm with features like wood panel wainscoting, hardwood floors, and French doors, appealing to buyers seeking unique aesthetic and historical character.
Corner & Upper Level Unit: As an upper-level corner unit, it likely benefits from increased natural light, better ventilation, and enhanced privacy compared to interior or lower-level units.
Excellent Transit & Walkability: Its proximity to public transportation (bus stop, BART) and walking distance to major attractions and services makes it highly desirable for car-free living and urban convenience.
Functional Interior Features: Includes practical elements such as some dual-pane windows for improved insulation, ample kitchen cabinets for storage, and a separate storage closet, enhancing livability.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The unit features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which can be a significant functional limitation and a drawback for families or multiple occupants.
Age of Building: Built in 1930, the building's age may imply potential for older infrastructure (plumbing, electrical) and could lead to higher maintenance costs or future special assessments for the HOA.
Compact Square Footage: At 764 sqft, the unit is relatively small for a 2-bedroom, which might limit its appeal to buyers seeking more spacious living areas or those with larger furniture/belongings.
