Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1922, has undergone significant recent updates, including new vinyl flooring throughout the main living areas and a renovated kitchen featuring quartz countertops and new stainless steel appliances. While the kitchen cabinets are a more traditional style, they appear freshly painted and well-maintained. The bathrooms are clean and functional, but their style, particularly the gold-framed shower enclosure and pedestal sink, is dated and would benefit from a cosmetic update to match the modernity of the kitchen. Overall, the home is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in Oakland's vibrant Dimond District, offering excellent walkability to local favorites like Farmer Joe’s Market, Grand Lake Kitchen, and Dimond Park, fostering a strong community feel with events like Oaktoberfest.
Commuter-Friendly Access: Provides easy access to AC Transit and I-580, making commutes to downtown Oakland and San Francisco quick and convenient.
Modern Interior Updates: Features recent upgrades including new vinyl floors and a quartz kitchen, enhancing the home's aesthetic and functionality.
Expansion & Income Potential: The property includes a backyard suitable for BBQs or future ADU development, and a basement with a separate entrance offering bonus space for expansion or creative use.
Strong Elementary School Options: Located near highly-rated elementary schools such as Sequoia Elementary (rating 5) and Fruitvale Elementary (rating 4), both within a short distance.
Cons
Compact Living Space: With 823 square feet for a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layout, the property offers relatively compact living spaces, which may not suit all buyer needs or family sizes.
Age of Property & Potential for Further Investment: Built in 1922 and described as 'ready for your touch,' indicating that while some updates have been made, the older construction may require ongoing maintenance or additional investment for comprehensive modernization beyond the recent cosmetic changes.
Valuation Discrepancy & Mixed School Ratings: The current list price of $577,000 is higher than the estimated property value of $547,521.71, potentially suggesting an aggressive pricing strategy. Additionally, some of the closer middle and high schools have lower ratings (e.g., Bret Harte Middle School rating 2, Fremont High rating 2), which could be a consideration for families.
