Here is your opportunity to buy a great building with great bones in a neighborhood with nothing but upside potential.
While prices in many parts of Oakland have risen strongly, this neighborhood is still in it's "undiscovered" mode but that will soon change. There are major changes in store for this area, the Brooklyn Basin mega-development is walking distance from here, bringing with it new retail, restaurants, parks, walking trails, a marina and lots of very upscale residences. There are other projects coming up in the area, too. If you've watched neighborhoods like NOBE go way up in value in a short time, this neighborhood will likely be heading in that same direction soon.
This duplex has 2 bedroom, 1 bath downstairs, and a 3 bedroom, 1 bath flat upstairs. Both units have much of their original details intact: hardwood floors, cove ceilings, wainscotting, beamed ceilings, decorative fireplaces, columns, lapboard siding, there is a lot to work with here that gives this duplex the potential to be something special. You could also update the kitchens and baths to your taste. The upstairs flat is vacant so you can owner occupy without issue. This building has separate electric, water and gas meters, and both units have laundry hook ups.
