Despite the 1896 build year, the listing explicitly states the home is either 'newly built' or 'rebuilt from the ground up with original charm intact, yet every modern comfort in place.' This means it functions as a new construction. The images confirm a completely renovated interior with modern light wood flooring, fresh paint, contemporary light fixtures, and a brand-new, stylish kitchen featuring modern blue-green cabinetry, white countertops, a farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances. The description also highlights 'modern electrical, plumbing, heating, AC, energy efficient & structural systems throughout,' including EV chargers and a tankless water heater. All visible components are new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Accessibility: Situated a short stroll from vibrant Piedmont Ave, with excellent proximity to BART, Rockridge, Temescal, and other desirable Oakland neighborhoods, offering high walkability and transit access.
Modern Construction & Architectural Design: Part of a limited collection, these homes are either newly built or rebuilt from the ground up by renowned Jarvis Architects, blending historical charm with contemporary amenities, high-quality systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, energy efficient), and EV charging.
Spacious & Flexible Floorplans: Offering 4+ beds and 3+ baths across 1927-2677 SF, with open floorplans, flexible bonus spaces suitable for home offices or playrooms, and potential for ADU conversion, catering to diverse living needs.
Premium Outdoor & Interior Features: Includes private patios, desirable rooftop decks, and top-floor living levels with vaulted ceilings for dramatic light and potential views, enhancing the living experience.
Proximity to Green Space & Top-Tier Schools: Steps away from the expansive 226-acre Mountain View Cemetery Park and within access to highly-rated Piedmont High (10) and Piedmont Middle (9) schools.

Cons

Limited Lot Size: The 3275 sqft lot is relatively small for a single-family residence, potentially limiting private outdoor space compared to other homes in the area.
Mixed Elementary School Rating: While some schools are highly rated, the assigned Piedmont Avenue Elementary School has a low rating (2), which could be a drawback for families with elementary-aged children.
Potential Overpricing: The current listing price is 3% higher than the property's estimated value, suggesting it may be priced slightly above current market expectations.
