About 3925 Balfour Avenue
This is an incredible opportunity for savvy buyers to create something truly special in sought-after Crocker Highlands. This 1921 Craftsman is already 75% there, with many key upgrades including all new Marvin windows and an updated electrical system. Presale inspections revealed needed foundation improvements, offering an incredible chance to finish the work and add value. The main level features formal living and dining rooms with hardwood floors, built-ins, and a traditional fireplace. The eat-in kitchen opens to a bright breakfast room overlooking the backyard and Oakland hills. Two bedrooms and an updated bath complete this level. The lower level includes a flexible space with a full bath—ideal as a family room, office, or guest area—plus an attached garage with interior access and ample storage with expansion potential. Prime location close to Crocker Highlands Elementary, Lake Merritt, and easy SF access.
