Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1938, this property has undergone a recent and extensive renovation, bringing it to current quality standards. The kitchen features new white shaker cabinets, modern black hardware, pristine white quartz countertops, a stainless steel undermount sink with a contemporary faucet, and a full suite of new stainless steel appliances (gas range, microwave, French door refrigerator). Throughout the home, there is new light-colored laminate/LVP flooring, fresh white paint, and modern flush-mount and recessed lighting. The exterior also appears freshly painted with new landscaping. While a bathroom image is not provided, the consistent high-quality updates in the rest of the home strongly suggest it has also been fully modernized. The property is move-in ready with virtually new components and no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location & Walkability: Nestled in the sought-after Richmond Annex, this property boasts excellent walkability and convenient access to amenities in Albany, El Cerrito, and Richmond, including shops, dining, transit, and parks.
Modern Updates with Vintage Charm: The home has been beautifully updated and thoughtfully renovated, successfully blending classic vintage charm with modern upgrades throughout, appealing to a wide range of buyers.
Flexible Space & ADU Potential: Features a flexible bonus room ideal for a home office or guest space, and a detached garage offering significant potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or studio conversion.
Highly-Rated School District: Located near top-rated public schools, including Fairmont Elementary (5/5), El Cerrito Senior High (5/5), and Fred T. Korematsu Middle School (4/5), making it attractive for families.
Generous Backyard Canvas: The property includes a generous backyard described as a 'blank canvas,' providing ample space for gardening, creating an outdoor oasis, or a play area.
Cons
Compact Size & Single Bathroom: With 868 square feet, 2 bedrooms, and only 1 bathroom, the property is relatively compact, which may limit appeal for larger families or those desiring more living space.
Older Construction Year: Built in 1938, despite updates, the age of the home could imply potential for older infrastructure components or require ongoing maintenance typical of vintage properties.
Recent Price Reductions: The property has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price of $699,000 to $675,000, which might suggest initial overpricing or slower market interest.
