Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1943, the property has undergone a recent and extensive renovation. The description explicitly states an 'updated kitchen, featuring quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open, modern footprint' and a 'refreshed bathroom delivers that “new home” feel.' The images confirm this with new-looking hardwood/laminate flooring throughout, recessed lighting, modern ceiling fans, fresh paint, and contemporary kitchen and bathroom fixtures (e.g., subway tile backsplash, modern faucet, dual shower head). The exterior also appears freshly painted with new fencing. All visible components are new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards, indicating a full recent renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
ADU Potential: The property offers significant Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) potential, providing a valuable opportunity for future expansion or rental income.
Modernized Kitchen: Features a fully updated kitchen with quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and an open, modern footprint, appealing to contemporary tastes.
Desirable Location: Situated in a quiet San Leandro neighborhood with convenient access to parks, schools, and major commuter routes, enhancing lifestyle and connectivity.
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 5561 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space and supports the property's ADU development potential.
Updated Interior & Layout: Boasts a comfortable, well-designed single-story layout with a refreshed bathroom and seamless flow from the living room, offering a 'new home' feel.
Cons
Single Bathroom: The property features only one bathroom for three bedrooms, which may be a functional limitation for families or multiple occupants.
Age of Property: Built in 1943, the home's age may imply potential for older infrastructure or require ongoing maintenance typical of properties from this era.
Modest Living Space: With 1024 square feet, the interior living space is relatively modest for a three-bedroom home, potentially limiting spaciousness for some buyers.
