Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1947, this duplex has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, bringing its condition to an excellent standard. The kitchen features modern style white shaker cabinets, dark countertops, a subway tile backsplash, and new black/stainless steel appliances. Bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities and subway tile showers. Hardwood floors are in excellent condition throughout, and light fixtures are contemporary. The overall aesthetic is fresh, clean, and move-in ready with no visible deferred maintenance, aligning with a property extensively renovated within the last 5 years.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: As a duplex, the property offers significant potential for rental income from two units or flexible multi-generational living arrangements, appealing to investors and owner-occupants alike.
Exceptional Walkability & Bikeability: Boasting an impressive Walk Score of 91 and a Bike Score of 99, the property provides outstanding access to local amenities, public transport, and recreational options, reducing reliance on a car.
Modernized Interiors: The units feature updated fixtures, hardwood floors, and kitchens with modern style cabinets, gorgeous countertops, stainless steel or black appliances, and subway tile backsplashes, enhancing aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Development Potential: The possibility for expansion via a mini-lot subdivision presents a unique and valuable opportunity for future development, increased density, or significant value appreciation.
Desirable Neighborhood & Amenities: Located in North Oakland's sought-after Santa Fe Neighborhood, the property benefits from close proximity to a variety of restaurants, shopping, and parks.
Cons
Age of Property: Built in 1947, the property, despite cosmetic updates, may have underlying older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical systems) that could require future maintenance or upgrades not explicitly mentioned.
Shared Laundry Facilities: The presence of shared laundry, while functional, might be less desirable for some tenants or owners who prefer the convenience and privacy of in-unit laundry facilities.
Recent Price Reduction: A recent price reduction from $1.249M to $1.199M could indicate a longer time on market or that the initial listing price was ambitious, potentially raising questions for prospective buyers about market demand or perceived value.
