Condition Rating
Good

This 1922 Craftsman home is in 'Good' condition, offering a blend of classic charm and modern updates. The description highlights a 'renovated eat-in kitchen' with an island and skylight, a 'modern bath' in the primary bedroom, and an 'upgraded period bathroom' with a clawfoot tub. Images confirm the kitchen has stainless steel appliances and recessed lighting, though the dark green countertops and terracotta-style floor tiles suggest the renovation might be 5-15 years old rather than brand new. The rest of the home features well-preserved vintage woodwork, gorgeous inlaid hardwood floors, and modern recessed lighting in the living and dining areas, indicating a move-in ready property with no immediate renovation required. All major systems appear functional and well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Premier Rockridge Location: Situated in the 'PRIME ROCKRIDGE' subdivision, offering unparalleled access to College Avenue's world-class dining, shopping, and amenities, with convenient BART/HWY 24 commute options.
Exceptional Architectural Integrity: A 1922 Craftsman home showcasing rich architectural details, including vintage woodwork, inlaid hardwood floors, mullioned windows, coved ceilings, built-in gumwood cabinets, and an original brick fireplace.
Modernized Living Spaces: Features a renovated eat-in kitchen with an island, bar seating, and skylight, complemented by modern recessed lighting and an updated primary bathroom.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow: French doors connect the renovated kitchen to a secluded backyard with multiple patios, a deck, and mature landscaping, ideal for entertaining and relaxation.
Practicality & Storage: Benefits from a large basement offering ample storage and tinker space, along with convenient off-street parking via a garage and driveway.

Cons

Significant Price Adjustment: The current list price of $1.495M represents a substantial increase from the original list price of $1.295M, which may warrant buyer inquiry or suggest a market adjustment.
Unspecified Major System Updates: While cosmetic updates are noted, the property description lacks details regarding updates to critical systems such as electrical, plumbing, or HVAC (specifically cooling), which could be a consideration for a 1922-built home.
Modest Lot Size: The 4000 sqft lot, while well-utilized, is relatively compact for a prime Rockridge single-family residence, potentially limiting future expansion or extensive garden development.
