Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1923, this home has received some updates but retains many original or dated features. The kitchen appears to be the most recently updated area, featuring white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and recessed lighting, likely renovated within the last 10-15 years. However, the bathrooms are functional but dated, with one appearing to be a 15-20 year old renovation and the other showing older tiles and fixtures from 20-30+ years ago. Throughout the house, popcorn ceilings are prevalent, and areas like the living room feature dated wood paneling and wallpaper. While some flooring has been updated to laminate/LVP and carpet, and double-pane windows are a positive, the cooling system relies on window/wall units. The property is well-maintained and functional but requires significant cosmetic updates to modernize its overall aesthetic and bring it up to current standards.

Prime Location & Accessibility: Located in Oakland's desirable Fruitvale neighborhood, the home boasts easy access to major highways (Hwy 580/880), BART, shopping, and restaurants, ensuring convenient commuting and daily errands.
Spacious & Functional Layout: Spanning 1,647 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the home offers a spacious layout, complemented by a cozy fireplace in the family room and convenient in-house laundry facilities.

Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1923, the home's age may imply potential for outdated systems (plumbing, electrical) or require significant updates to meet modern aesthetic and functional standards, despite being described as well-maintained.
Non-Central Cooling System: The property relies on window/wall unit cooling, which is generally less efficient, less aesthetically pleasing, and less effective than a central air conditioning system, especially during warmer months.
