1604 39th Avenue

Here is your opportunity to buy a great duplex and a house with great bones in a neighborhood with great upside potential. While prices in many parts of Oakland have risen strongly, this neighborhood still has upside for such a great location.

This property consists of a large duplex on 39^th Avenue that has two 2 bedroom units with 1.5 baths each. Each unit has hardwood floors, cove ceilings, and lots of original trim and wainscoting in the formal dining rooms. Each unit has a large kitchen with a breakfast nook and a laundry room with a half bath. The laundry room also has the rear access to the large parking area with plenty of room for 4 cars.

The home at 1619 40^th Avenue is a one bedroom house with a double parlor. This extra room could be used as a second bedroom but without a closet. There are built-ins and wainscotting in the living room and a clawfoot tub in the bathroom. The floors are currently carpeted but appear to have softwood subfloors that could be refinished nicely. There is a large back yard area just for this home. Both properties have double pane windows.

The Fruitvale is an Oakland gem of a neighborhood. It has a distinct latin flavor with many great markets, restaurants and shops serving this community. This property also has great BART access, the Fruitvale BART station is just a few blocks away. The new Bus Rapid Transit line just at the corner is going in on International Boulevard, and that will help with north-south transit throughout Oakland. You will also be close to easy freeway access and just a short drive or bike ride to Crown Beach in Alameda.

Fruitvale also has several great street fairs every year, there is one for Cinco de Mayo, Dia de los Muertos and several others. The Walkscore here is 91 and the Bikescore is 72, both excellent scores for those that want or need easy access to public transportation.
