Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1916, this property is over a century old. The MLS description explicitly labels it a 'Handyman Special' and an 'AS-IS, Sale,' indicating a need for substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The single exterior image confirms this, showing severe deferred maintenance with extensive peeling paint on siding and trim, worn and potentially damaged wooden stairs, and neglected landscaping. While interior photos are unavailable, the age and exterior condition strongly suggest that the kitchen, bathrooms, and all major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) are outdated, likely in poor condition, and require significant renovation or replacement to meet modern standards and ensure safety and comfort. This aligns with the 'Poor' condition criteria, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Investment & Value-Add Potential: Explicitly marketed as a 'Handyman Special with Huge Potential' and an 'investment opportunity' to 'create value and build equity,' appealing to buyers looking to customize and increase property value.
Desirable Location: Situated in Oakland's 'MEADOWBROOK' subdivision, described as a 'desirable neighborhood' and 'tucked away on a quiet court,' offering a peaceful and sought-after living environment.
Generous Living Space: A substantial 2566 sqft with 5 bedrooms provides ample room for a large family, multi-generational living, or strong rental income potential.
Substantial Lot Size: The 7160 sqft lot offers significant outdoor space, potential for landscaping, expansion, or even an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), which is highly valuable in an urban setting.
High Bedroom Count: With 5 bedrooms, the property caters to larger families or offers excellent potential for generating high cash flow through rental, especially in a high-demand area like Oakland.
Cons
As-Is Condition & Required Renovation: Explicitly stated as an 'AS-IS, Sale' and a 'Handyman Special,' indicating significant immediate investment and extensive renovation work will be necessary for modernization and habitability.
Age of Property: Built in 1916, the home is over a century old, suggesting potential for outdated systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC) and structural issues that could lead to costly and unforeseen repairs.
Potential Overpricing: The current list price of $749,888 is approximately 6% higher than the estimated property value of $700,955.71, which may be a concern for buyers given its 'handyman special' status and required renovations.
