Pros & Cons

Pros

Desirable Location: Situated in the highly sought-after Crocker Highlands neighborhood, offering excellent proximity to top-rated schools (Crocker Highlands Elementary), local amenities like Lake Merritt and the Farmers Market, and convenient access to San Francisco.
Classic Architectural Charm: A charming 1921 Craftsman home featuring a classic floor plan, generous room sizes, hardwood floors, and a traditional fireplace, preserving its historical character.
Recent Key Updates: Benefits from a recently updated kitchen and a tastefully updated main floor bathroom, providing modern comfort while retaining the home's original appeal.
Flexible & Functional Layout: Includes a sun-filled breakfast room and a versatile open-concept lower level that can serve as an additional bedroom, family room, or office, enhancing living flexibility.
Outdoor Space & Storage: Features a spacious deck for outdoor enjoyment, an attached garage with interior access, and ample storage solutions both within the home and under the structure.

Cons

Undeveloped Backyard: The backyard is presented as having 'infinite options for development,' suggesting it is currently undeveloped and will require significant investment in landscaping and design to maximize its utility and aesthetic appeal.
Potential for System Upgrades: As a 1921 build, while cosmetically updated, the property may have original or older core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could necessitate future maintenance or upgrades.
Unfinished Expansion Potential: The 'possibility for expansion' under the home indicates an unfinished area, implying additional significant investment would be required to convert this space into habitable square footage.
