Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1948, this home is aged but appears maintained. The kitchen features updated gray shaker cabinets, modern countertops, and a mosaic backsplash, but is equipped with older white appliances. The living areas have updated laminate flooring and fresh paint, but retain older elements like exposed beam ceilings, a dated ceiling fan, and a wall-mounted heater. The laundry area shows an older water heater and basic appliances. While some cosmetic updates have been made, major systems and appliances show signs of being outdated, and no fully updated bathroom is visible, indicating it requires minor updates and repairs to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Significant Development Potential: The expansive 20,758 sq. ft. lot has conditional city approval for subdivision into two large lots, with over $100k invested by the owner, presenting a substantial value-add and investment opportunity.
Exceptional Lot Size: Beyond subdivision, the existing large lot offers ample outdoor space, privacy, and potential for significant expansion of the current home or creation of a dream backyard.
Strategic University Proximity: Located a short walk from Cal State University East Bay, making it highly attractive for academic professionals, students, or as a potential rental income property.
Excellent Commuter Accessibility: Provides easy access to major freeways (580, 92, 880) and BART, ensuring convenient commutes to various parts of the Bay Area.
Desirable Neighborhood Amenities: Situated in a quiet neighborhood with access to greenbelt trails, playgrounds, and minutes from Stonebrae Golf Course & Country Club, enhancing the quality of life for residents.
Cons
Modest Home Size: The existing home is relatively small at 955 sqft with 2 beds and 1 bath, which may not meet the space requirements for many buyers, potentially necessitating significant renovation or expansion.
Age of Property & Required Updates: Built in 1948, the property is an older home that, while charming, likely requires substantial updates, renovations, or system replacements to align with modern standards and buyer expectations.
Conditional Subdivision Approval: While promising, the 'conditional approval' for lot subdivision implies there may still be outstanding requirements or potential hurdles that could delay or complicate the finalization of the lot split process.
