Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1952, making it over 70 years old. While the exterior appears maintained, the visible interior spaces, particularly the bathroom and laundry room, show significant signs of being outdated. The bathroom features an older vanity, dated flooring (sheet vinyl/linoleum), and a basic light fixture, suggesting a renovation that occurred 20-30 years ago rather than recently. The laundry room is very utilitarian with exposed elements and older appliances. Crucially, there are no images of the kitchen, but given the age of the property and the condition of other areas, it is highly probable the kitchen is also dated and would require updates. The property is functional but requires minor cosmetic updates to meet current standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Location & Walkability: Situated in a highly desirable area of Oakland, offering convenient walking access to schools, public transportation, and shopping in the popular Dimond and Laurel neighborhoods.
Strong Income Potential (Triplex): Classified as a 'Residential Income' property and a 'Triplex,' providing a robust opportunity for rental income from multiple units.
Ideal for Owner-Occupant: Specifically highlighted as 'ideal for owner occupant' to 'live in one, collect rent from two units,' offering a significant financial advantage for a homeowner.
Enhanced Natural Light & Privacy: Each unit benefits from 'three side exposure/windows,' ensuring maximum natural light and improved privacy for residents.
Established Urban Market: Located in Oakland, a dynamic Bay Area city with a strong demand for rental properties and potential for long-term property value appreciation.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for Updates: Built in 1952, the property is over 70 years old, suggesting that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and interior finishes may be original or outdated, potentially requiring significant capital investment for modernization or repairs.
Limited Property Detail: The description lacks specific information regarding the number of bedrooms/bathrooms per unit, individual unit square footage, or recent renovations, which could necessitate further due diligence for interested buyers.
Potential for Higher Maintenance & Management: As an older triplex, the property may incur higher ongoing maintenance costs and require more active management compared to a newer or single-unit property.
