Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1947, this duplex has undergone extensive and recent renovations, bringing it to an excellent condition. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, dark countertops, subway tile backsplash, and a mix of black and stainless steel appliances that appear new. Both bathrooms are updated with contemporary vanities, modern fixtures, and subway tile in the showers. Hardwood floors are present throughout the living areas, and light fixtures are modern. The overall aesthetic is fresh, clean, and meets current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Duplex Configuration & Expansion Potential: The property is a stunning DUPLEX, offering income potential, and explicitly mentions the possibility for EXPANSION via a MINI-LOT SUBDIVISION, indicating significant development or value-add opportunities.
Exceptional Walkability & Bikeability: Boasts an impressive Walk Score of 91 and a Bike Score of 99, highlighting excellent access to local amenities, public transport, and a car-optional lifestyle.
Desirable North Oakland Location: Situated in North Oakland's desirable Santa Fe Neighborhood, with close proximity to restaurants, shopping, parks, and other urban conveniences.
Updated Interiors & Modern Kitchens: Features hardwood floors, updated fixtures, and kitchens with stainless steel or black appliances, gorgeous countertops, modern cabinets, and subway tile backsplashes, appealing to contemporary tastes.
Detached 2-Car Garage: Includes a detached 2-car garage, providing valuable off-street parking, additional storage, or potential for future conversion (e.g., ADU), enhancing property utility and value.
Cons
Age of Property & Potential Infrastructure: Built in 1947, while updated cosmetically, older properties can have underlying infrastructure (plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may require significant investment if not recently addressed.
Shared Laundry Facilities: The property features shared laundry, which may be less appealing to some tenants or owners who prefer private, in-unit laundry facilities for convenience and privacy.
Property Type Discrepancy: The description states 'DUPLEX' while the `sub_type` is listed as 'Single Family Residence,' which could lead to confusion regarding zoning, financing, or legal use and should be clarified.
