Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1925, this duplex has undergone extensive and recent renovations, particularly evident in the kitchens and bathrooms. The kitchens feature modern white shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, new stainless steel appliances (dishwasher, gas range, microwave), and recessed lighting. The bathrooms are equally updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and stylish large-format tile surrounds. New light wood-look laminate flooring is present in main living areas, complemented by fresh paint and modern light fixtures throughout. The property is move-in ready with virtually new components in key areas, meeting current quality standards, aligning with the 'Excellent' condition criteria for an extensively renovated property.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in Oakland's desirable NOBE neighborhood, offering excellent access to BART, Temescal, and Emeryville, ensuring strong rental demand and potential appreciation.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a duplex, the property provides flexibility for owner-occupancy with rental income or as a pure investment, capitalizing on Oakland's strong rental market.
Separately Metered Units: Each unit is separately metered for gas, electric, and water, simplifying utility management for landlords and promoting tenant responsibility.
Modernized Interiors: Both 2BD/1BA units feature modern kitchens, enhancing tenant appeal and reducing immediate renovation costs for a new owner.
Valuable Amenities: Includes garages, off-street parking, and a bonus room in the upper unit ideal for a home office, adding significant value and appeal in an urban setting.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1925, the property may have underlying older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or significant capital expenditures not immediately apparent.
Lack of Central Cooling: The description does not mention central air conditioning, which is common in older homes and could be a drawback for tenants during warmer months in California.
Shared Living Considerations: As a duplex, occupants may experience shared wall noise or reduced privacy compared to a detached single-family home, which could be a consideration for some tenants.
