Condition Rating
Fair

Built in 1940, this home has received cosmetic updates like fresh paint and recessed lighting, and features newer laminate flooring in living areas. However, the kitchen and bathroom, while functional and clean, show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen has older wood cabinets, tiled countertops, and patterned floor tiles, while the bathroom features dated brown tiled shower surrounds and a basic vanity. These elements suggest renovations that are likely 15-30 years old, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated and require minor updates.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Versatile Living Spaces: The property boasts a bonus basement ideal for storage or a home gym, and an additional bonus room with a half-bath, perfect for guests, a home office, or multi-generational living.
Prime Commuter Location: Strategically located near the San Leandro border, offering easy access to major highways (leading to Castro Valley, San Jose, Dumbarton Toll Plaza) and minutes from San Leandro BART, making it a commuter's dream.
Modern Interior Updates: Features updated interior paint throughout and updated recessed lighting, providing a fresh, contemporary, and move-in ready aesthetic.
Practical Storage & Parking: A spacious two-car garage provides ample parking and additional storage options, complemented by the bonus basement for extra utility.
Corner Lot Appeal & Local Amenities: Situated on a charming corner lot, enhancing curb appeal and privacy, and conveniently close to local parks, shopping, and dining at San Leandro Plaza.

Cons

Limited Bathroom Count: With only one full bathroom for a 3-bedroom home, this could be a significant functional limitation for growing families or multi-generational households, as suggested in the listing.
Age of Property: Built in 1940, while cosmetically updated, the property's older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) may require future maintenance or significant investment beyond the visible updates.
Inconsistent School Ratings: While one elementary school has a high rating, several nearby high schools have lower ratings (1s and 2s), which might be a concern for families prioritizing top-tier public education for older children.
