Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Views & Natural Light: The property boasts wide views of the hills, glimpses of the Bay, and Berkeley’s Campanile, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling and wall-to-wall windows that ensure abundant natural light throughout.
Desirable Piedmont Location: Located in serene Upper Piedmont, it offers convenient access to top-rated schools, parks, community centers, and is close to Piedmont Ave, College Ave, Rockridge BART, UC Berkeley, and major Bay Area transit routes.
Updated Mid-Century Design: Recently improved with modern amenities such as a new range with air fryer and a breakfast bar, the home retains its appealing mid-century architectural style.
Versatile Living & Outdoor Spaces: Features an upper deck for dining and entertainment, a flexible bedroom suitable for a home office, and a private primary suite with its own deck and adaptable space for hobbies or relaxation.
Approved Expansion Potential: The availability of previously approved plans for expansion and remodeling presents significant future customization and value-add opportunities for a buyer.

Cons

Recent Price Reduction & Valuation Gap: The property has experienced a notable price reduction and is currently listed 8% above its estimated market value, which may suggest initial overpricing or challenges in market absorption.
Age of Property (1952): Built in 1952, the home is over 70 years old. While updated, potential buyers may anticipate future maintenance or upgrades related to aging core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly detailed as fully replaced.
Compact Interior Footprint: With 1855 sqft for 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, the interior square footage might be considered modest for some buyers expecting larger individual room dimensions or more expansive common areas for a home of this bedroom count in Piedmont.
