Built in 1940, this property has undergone significant updates that make it move-in ready. It features beautiful hardwood floors and dual-paned windows throughout. The kitchen boasts modern stainless steel appliances, updated white cabinetry, and a subway tile backsplash. While the bathroom retains a 'vintage' aesthetic with its classic tiling and separate tub/shower, it is clean, well-maintained, and includes a modern vanity and light fixture. The overall condition reflects a home that has been regularly updated and is functional, requiring no immediate renovations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Development Potential: The inclusion of an adjacent 2,294 sq ft second lot offers rare opportunities for expansion, additional dwelling units (ADU), or future development.
Versatile Bonus Space: A detached garage with a flexible room above provides excellent potential for a home office, studio, or creative projects, adding significant functional value.
Highly-Rated School District: Located within a district boasting top-rated elementary (5/10), middle (4/10), and high schools (5/10), making it attractive to families.
Prime Commuter Location: Offers convenient access to major transportation hubs like BART and I-80, as well as nearby El Cerrito, shopping, and parks.
Charming & Well-Maintained Interior: Features beautiful hardwood floors, dual-paned windows, and a formal recessed ceiling, blending classic charm with modern efficiency.

Cons

Compact Living Space: The main home's 840 sq. ft. is relatively small for a 2-bedroom, potentially limiting comfort or future growth for some buyers.
Single Bathroom: With only one bathroom, the property may not meet the needs of larger families or those desiring more modern conveniences.
Development Verification Required: The 'Buyer to verify use of space' clause for the second lot and detached room suggests potential complexities or costs in realizing their full development or functional potential.
