Investment Opportunity in San Pablo! This tenant-occupied 3-bedroom, 1-bath home offers an attractive opportunity for investors looking to add a property with an established rental arrangement to their portfolio. The current tenants would like to continue renting, providing a potential transition with minimal vacancy concerns. The approximately 855 sq. ft. home sits on a generous 5,500 sq. ft. lot and features laminate wood flooring throughout the main living areas, an updated kitchen with granite countertops and recently updated cabinetry, and a refreshed bathroom with tile finishes. The light-filled living and dining areas feature vaulted, beamed ceilings and an open-concept feel. New sliding glass doors provide the rear bedrooms with additional natural light and convenient access to the backyard. The expansive backyard is one of the property's standout features, offering plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment and a potential opportunity to explore the addition of an ADU for future rental income. Conveniently located within walking distance of Hilltop Mall, Walmart, Montalvin Elementary School and Making Waves Academy, with easy access to shopping, public transportation, Point Pinole Regional Shoreline, In-N-Out and more. Quick access to Richmond Parkway, I-80 and I-580 makes commuting throughout the East Bay and to San Francisco convenient. A property with current rental income, a large lot and potential for future value-add opportunities deserves a closer look.
