Built in 1895 and offering 1,531 square feet of total living space, this well-maintained property features two spacious units. The upstairs features a primary bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, while the second bedroom is currently set up as a home office with an adjacent bonus room. The lower unit, showcases a bright and inviting layout with a cozy living room and a classic eat-in kitchen with ample cabinetry and a gas range oven. Both bedrooms are generously sized, and the bathroom has tiled floors and a stall shower. A dedicated laundry room for each unit with storage adds convenience. Recent improvements include a newer roof, dual pane windows, gutters, drainage system, sewer lateral and upgraded 200 amp service.

Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1895, has received significant and valuable system upgrades (newer roof, dual pane windows, gutters, drainage system, sewer lateral, upgraded 200 amp service), which are excellent for its age and prevent it from being 'Poor'. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen, appears dated with older white appliances, basic laminate countertops, and a fluorescent light fixture. While clean and functional, these elements would require cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The bathrooms are described as having tiled floors and a stall shower, suggesting a similar level of maintenance rather than recent modern renovation. The overall condition is well-maintained but shows its age in key aesthetic areas, aligning with the 'Fair' category as it requires minor updates for modern appeal.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a well-maintained duplex, offering excellent investment potential for strong rental income or the flexibility to live in one unit and rent out the other.
Extensive Capital Improvements: Recent significant upgrades including a newer roof, dual pane windows, gutters, drainage system, sewer lateral, and upgraded 200 amp electrical service reduce immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Prime Alameda Location: Ideally located in the heart of Alameda, across from a farmer's market and blocks from vibrant Webster Street shops, eateries, and cafes, offering high walkability and access to amenities.
Historic Victorian Charm: Built in 1895, the property retains its charming Victorian architecture, appealing to buyers seeking historic character and unique aesthetic.
Unit-Specific Conveniences: Each unit benefits from a dedicated laundry room with storage, a highly desirable feature for tenants and owner-occupants alike.

Cons

Limited Lot Size: The property sits on a relatively small 2,061 square foot lot, which may limit outdoor living space or future expansion possibilities.
Potential Overpricing: The current list price of $890,000 is 7% higher than the estimated property value of $821,686, which could indicate it is priced above current market expectations.
Ongoing Maintenance for Historic Property: Despite recent upgrades, a property built in 1895 may still require specialized or ongoing maintenance for its historic components and infrastructure not covered by recent improvements.
