Pros & Cons

Pros

Breathtaking Bay Views: The property offers stunning, sweeping bay views, along with views of bridges, city lights, and hills, significantly enhancing its appeal and value.
Prime Location & Walkability: Situated in Oakland's coveted Lincoln Highlands, the home boasts excellent walkability to top-rated schools (Sequoia Elementary 5-star), parks, grocery stores, and coffee shops, plus easy freeway and public transportation access.
Significant Modern Upgrades: Recent upgrades include Marvin dual-paned windows, a new garage door and driveway, a high-efficiency furnace, an on-demand hot water heater, and sewer compliance, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a new owner.
Versatile Lower Level Suite: A fully finished third bedroom with a private entrance on the lower level provides flexible options for an in-law unit, au pair suite, or rental income potential.
Charming Architectural Details & Outdoor Living: The home retains timeless 1940s charm with features like pegged random-planked oak floors, coved ceilings, and archways, complemented by an updated kitchen opening to a back deck, lush gardens, and fruit trees for ideal indoor/outdoor entertaining.

Cons

Lack of Central Air Conditioning: The property description highlights a high-efficiency furnace but makes no mention of a cooling system, which could be a drawback during warmer months in California.
Modest Square Footage for Price Point: With 1432 sqft, the interior living space might be considered relatively compact for some buyers, especially given the over $1M price tag in a desirable Oakland neighborhood.
High School District Ratings: While elementary schools are highly rated, the listed public high schools (Fremont High, Oakland International High) have lower ratings (2/5), which could be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public high school options.
