Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1920, this property is explicitly described as needing a 'full rehab' and being a 'blank canvas' for contractors or investors. The exterior images confirm a neglected state with overgrown landscaping, aged stucco, peeling paint on eaves, and visible wear on the front steps and driveway. The absence of interior photos, combined with the property's age and the description, strongly indicates that the kitchen, bathrooms, and all major systems are original or very outdated, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern safety and living standards. It is not move-in ready and likely has significant deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Strategically located near schools, parks, and major commuter routes, offering excellent accessibility within Alameda.
Significant Value-Add Opportunity: Presents a blank canvas for contractors, investors, or owner-occupants to undertake a full renovation and significantly increase property value.
Substantial Price Reduction: The list price has been reduced by $101,000 from its original, indicating a motivated seller and potential for a favorable acquisition.
Generous Lot Size: A 5200 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space for landscaping, potential expansion, or recreational use.
School Proximity: Within walking distance to Horace Mann Elementary (0.19 miles) and Fremont High (0.56 miles), offering convenience for families.
Cons
Extensive Renovation Required: The property is explicitly stated to be in need of a 'full rehab,' necessitating significant capital investment and time for modernization and repairs.
Historic Property Challenges: Built in 1920, the home likely comes with the challenges of an older structure, such as outdated infrastructure, potential for hazardous materials, and higher renovation costs.
Low-Rated Local Schools: Despite proximity, several nearby public schools have low ratings (predominantly 1s and 2s), which may be a deterrent for some buyers prioritizing top-tier education.
