A log cabin in the San Francisco Bay Area for $575K? There’s a catch
(NEXSTAR) — The average home in Oakland, California costs about $866,000, according to Zillow, which is all the more reason that 7135 Pinehaven Rd. is garnering attention.
The 25,000-sq.-ft. property costs only $575,000 and features a log cabin built in the 1890s that overlooks a sloping, tree-lined lot.
But there’s a catch: The cabin is currently uninhabitable. With some TLC, it’s possible it could be brought back to its 1890s grandeur, but in all likelihood, it’s a teardown.
“It’s a cool property, but not in great shape,” said listing agent Nick Flageollet. “The terrain is sliding out from under the foundation.”
But, Flageollet acknowledged, “It’s very unique. I don’t know if I’ve seen anything like this or even this old in this area.”
For someone with a knack for renovation, the property is promising. It sits in the Forestland neighborhood of Oakland, near bustling Rockridge, and is close to nature and hiking trails.
