Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1931, this property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, with the seller investing over $200,000. The kitchen is fully modernized with white shaker cabinets, quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, new stainless steel appliances (gas stove, microwave, dishwasher), and contemporary black tile flooring. The bathroom is also completely updated with modern fixtures, vanity, and tiling. Hardwood floors are well-maintained throughout, and light fixtures are modern. The inclusion of an updated ADU further confirms the comprehensive nature of the recent upgrades, bringing the property's condition to virtually new standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating ADU: The property includes an updated 1-bedroom Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), offering significant potential for rental income, multi-generational living, or a dedicated home office space.
Extensive Modern Upgrades: The seller invested over $200,000 in upgrades, featuring a modern kitchen with quartz counters, gas stove, microwave, dishwasher, and an updated bathroom, blending contemporary functionality with vintage charm.
Preserved Vintage Charm: The main house retains desirable vintage elements such as hardwood floors in the living, dining, and bedrooms, a front-facing picture window, and a cozy fireplace, appealing to buyers seeking character.
Convenient Location: Located in the North East section of Richmond, the property offers convenient access to freeways and San Pablo Shops, enhancing connectivity and access to local amenities.
Turnkey Living Areas: The significant investment in modernizing key areas like the kitchen and bathroom suggests the main living spaces are move-in ready, reducing immediate renovation costs for a new owner.
Cons
Multiple Price Reductions: The property has seen several price reductions from its original list price of $779,500 down to $709,500, which may suggest initial overpricing or market resistance, potentially raising buyer concerns about its perceived value.
Unspecified Major System Updates: While cosmetic upgrades are highlighted, the description does not detail updates to critical older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof, foundation, HVAC) for a 1931-built home, which could lead to future maintenance costs.
Lack of Central Cooling: There is no mention of a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in California and potentially impact the property's appeal to some buyers.
