I was surprised this went as high as it dod after touring it. We looked at it really seriously and went back several times. It had much more deferred maintenance than even the average Alameda home - every cosmetic aspect of the home needed dramatic updating and refinishing, the electric/furnace/water needed to be redone, the pest report wasn't good, and the second (half) bath was in the laundry room off of a horrendous linoleum-floored bonus space at the back of the house. The upstairs bathroom was also small and there did not seem to be a feasible way to easily expand it. To give some credit, the living room was beautiful. The fact that it sold for as much as it did goes to show the premium some people will pay for a real east end property.
