About this home
Seeking long term relationship. I was born in 1906 and well I can tell you, I've seen better days. I'm looking for that special someone who has the patience to bring me back to the lovely lady I used to be. I'm not picky, I need just someone to love me and tolerate my imperfections. My ideal mate doesn't need to be perfect or rich, but I could use a little more than just cosmetic surgery. Don't let my rough exterior scare you away because after a little therapy, I know you'll see my true self shine through inside and out. I know "Marry Lisa" is on a lot of billboards right now, but if you marry me, I'll do my best to provide for you for the rest of our lives.

Condition Rating
Tear down
Built in 1906, this property is over 50 years old and shows no evidence of major renovations in the past 50 years. The description explicitly states it has 'seen better days' and needs 'more than just cosmetic surgery.' The images confirm this, with the kitchen appearing gutted with exposed walls and damaged flooring, rendering it non-functional. The rest of the interior features heavily stained carpets, outdated wood paneling, and old fixtures, indicating severe neglect and extensive disrepair. The exterior is also weathered with peeling paint and an aged roof. The property's condition suggests it is unlivable in its current state and requires demolition or a complete structural overhaul, making its value primarily in the land.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in Alameda's desirable West End, offering access to a vibrant community and Bay Area amenities.
Substantial Lot Size: A generous 5700 sqft lot provides significant outdoor space and potential for future expansion or landscaping.
High Value-Add Potential: Explicitly marketed as a fixer-upper, this property offers a substantial opportunity for a buyer to invest in renovations and significantly increase its market value.
Historic Character: Built in 1906, the home possesses inherent historic charm and architectural potential for restoration.
Excellent School Proximity: Located within a short distance of well-rated schools, including Encinal Junior/Senior High, appealing to families.
Cons
Major Renovation Required: The property is in poor condition, necessitating extensive and costly renovations beyond cosmetic updates, as indicated by the seller.
Limited Interior Space: With only 874 sqft, the home offers a relatively small living area, which may not suit all buyer needs or preferences.
Overpriced Relative to Current Condition: The listing price is notably above the estimated market value, suggesting a premium for its potential rather than its current state, which could deter some buyers.
