Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1949, this property features a kitchen and bathrooms that are significantly outdated, likely renovated 30-50 years ago. The kitchen has dated light wood cabinets, tiled countertops, older white appliances, and linoleum flooring. The bathroom also shows a dated wood vanity and basic fixtures. While currently generating rental income, the overall condition and style indicate a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern living standards. The listing's emphasis on land development potential further suggests the existing structure is not a primary asset.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Development Potential: The property, combined with an adjoining parcel, offers 2.19 acres with explicit potential for building multiple single-family homes, presenting a strong development opportunity.
Expansive Combined Land Area: With a total of 2.19 acres across two parcels, there is substantial land for large-scale development, privacy, or creating a custom estate.
Strategic East Bay Location: Located in Walnut Creek and adjoining Lafayette, the property benefits from a highly desirable East Bay address known for its amenities, schools, and accessibility.
Investment-Grade Opportunity: The nature of the offering positions this as a prime investment for developers or individuals seeking to capitalize on new construction in a sought-after area.
Existing Residence for Interim Use: An existing 1880 sqft home (built 1949) provides potential for temporary residence or rental income during the planning and development phases of the larger project.
Cons
Mandatory Dual-Parcel Purchase: The property must be sold in conjunction with an adjoining parcel, which may limit the buyer pool and requires a larger initial capital investment.
Complex Development Process: Realizing the potential for multiple single-family homes will involve significant time, capital, and navigation of zoning, permitting, and construction challenges.
Age of Existing Structure: The existing home was built in 1949, suggesting it may require substantial renovation or demolition, adding to the overall project cost and complexity.
