Ouch. The street view stings the heart. Poor, poor house. Pity post.

Maybe you should have a category for that?!

Challenging micro location with all that light-industrial and the sea of concrete, but it is close to BART and easy freeway access makes it attractive to the right person–someone who has ties to that area of Oakland and loves old houses. (I’m hoping both that the house gets restored and that the restoration doesn’t gentrify things too, too much. There isn’t enough affordable housing there as it is.)
Not sure what resources it needs to get into a good state. The house itself seems largely unmolested, but needing some deferred maintenance. Wish I could see the inside.

Yes, ouch:

The home of attorney and land agent Robert Gardner (1841-1907) from the early 1880’s. Later owned by James H. Aydelotte, a teacher and officer of a local business college.
Looks fairly typical for Oakland, a city with poor zoning and building regulation – the horrific Ghost Ship fire wasn’t far from there. It would be fun to fix up the place and have it stand out like a jewel. It’s not a terrible neighborhood and the view of the Queen Anne cottages across the street is pretty cool!

Thanks, Jim for the information. I thought there were too many Italianate details for this to have been from 1897. Oakland provided a more affordable alternative to posh San Francisco across the Bay even during the late Victorian era. This same house in SF today would be a couple of million more in price-as is. I agree that taking a long view approach and restoring this house properly could over time make the low end commercial surroundings go away. In time, infill housing of new townhomes could completely transform this area and the restored Victorian could catapult upwards in value.

Take it apart and move it to; and restore and expand it sympathetically in, Redlands. Recycle what doesn’t belong left on site.
Grade the Oakland lot and install adequate finish landscape; put in a beefy security barrier with good gates; set a nice new double wide in there; and sell it for a profit.
Make good money on both ends of the deal.
Solved.

I’m nutz for that bathroom. It’s among the few, unceasingly trendy, black, gray, and white rooms I’ve found seriously impressive.
The mirror is molto rad, and the fixture is – everything. The cleantastic minimalism of the current look in that interesting, somewhat generous, space is thrilling.

Disassemble and move it 400+ miles? That’s quite a plan!

Sure, why not?! 😉 Heheheh.
My above comment makes no sense at all without the right link. Sigh…
