Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1924, this property is well-maintained for its age. The kitchen and bathrooms have received updates, likely within the last 10-15 years, featuring white shaker-style cabinets, stainless steel appliances, subway tile, and modern vanities, making them functional and aesthetically pleasing. Hardwood floors are present and in good condition. However, the home lacks central heating/cooling, relying on older wall-mounted heaters, and some light fixtures are outdated. While move-in ready, the property's age and lack of comprehensive modernization (especially regarding HVAC) suggest it would benefit from minor updates to meet contemporary standards for comfort and efficiency.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Desirable Location: Situated in the LAUREL subdivision, offering convenient access to popular shopping districts like Laurel, Diamond, and Montclair, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Generous Outdoor Space: Features a large backyard with a substantial lot size of 6688 sqft, providing ample room for recreation, gardening, or potential expansion.
Family-Friendly Layout: A practical 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration across 1344 sqft, suitable for families seeking comfortable living space.
Strong School Access: Proximity to highly-rated Redwood Heights Elementary (Rating 5, 0.51 miles) and Laurel Elementary (Rating 3, 0.21 miles) is a significant draw for families.
Historical Appreciation: The property has shown substantial value growth since its last sale in 2004, indicating a strong investment potential in the Oakland market.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Construction: Built in 1924, the property may require significant updates to its infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) to meet modern standards and avoid future maintenance costs.
Mixed School Performance: While some nearby schools are well-rated, several others have lower ratings (e.g., Bret Harte Middle, Allendale Elementary, Fremont High are rated 2), which could be a concern for some prospective buyers.
Lack of Detailed Modernization: The description does not specify any recent major renovations or modern upgrades, suggesting that a buyer might need to budget for immediate improvements to enhance contemporary appeal and functionality.
