Despite being built in 1890, this Victorian duplex has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchens feature modern white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, subway tile backsplashes, stainless steel appliances, and contemporary lighting. Bathrooms are also updated with modern tile and fixtures. Hardwood and tile flooring throughout are in excellent condition. While the exterior shows some age, the interior updates are extensive and appear to be within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' score criteria for a well-maintained and recently updated older property.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Duplex: The property is a duplex with one unit currently generating income from 'long term and GREAT tenants,' while the vacant second unit offers immediate owner-occupancy potential or additional rental income.
Strategic Commuter Location: Offers excellent access to major freeways (HWY 880/80/580) and West Oak BART Station, making it highly attractive for commuters.
Modernized Interiors: Features significant recent updates including granite counters, updated cabinetry, renovated bathrooms, updated windows, and new wood/tile flooring throughout, blending classic charm with contemporary living.
Historic Victorian Architecture: A 'stunning Victorian Duplex' built in 1890, offering unique character and a piece of the city's rich history, appealing to those seeking classic aesthetics.
Strong Investment Potential: Located in an area 'experiencing a wave of new development,' suggesting significant potential for future property value appreciation and a smart investment choice.

Cons

Age of Property: Despite interior updates, the 1890 construction year may imply potential for older, un-updated core systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that could require future maintenance or significant investment.
Limited Lot Size: A lot size of 2650 sqft is relatively small for a duplex in an urban setting, potentially limiting outdoor living space or future expansion possibilities.
No Mention of Dedicated Parking: The description does not specify dedicated parking, which can be a significant challenge and a drawback in a dense urban environment like Oakland.
