Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1958, this property is over 60 years old. The listing description provides no details about any renovations, and crucially, there are no interior images available, especially for the kitchen and bathrooms. This strongly suggests that these key areas, along with major systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC), are likely original or very outdated and in poor condition, requiring substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards and comfort. While not explicitly stated as unlivable, the lack of updates for a property of this age indicates significant deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Location: Situated in San Jose, a highly desirable and competitive real estate market, offering strong rental demand and potential for appreciation.
Income-Generating Duplex: As a residential income property (duplex), it provides immediate rental income potential and flexibility for owner-occupancy with supplemental income.
Versatile Unit Mix: Features an excellent unit mix of a 1-bedroom and a 3-bedroom unit, appealing to a broader range of tenants and potentially maximizing rental income.
Detached Two-Car Garage: Includes a valuable detached two-car garage, offering secure parking, additional storage, or potential for future conversion (e.g., ADU), subject to local regulations.
Recent Price Adjustment: The property has seen a significant price reduction from $1,025,000 to $980,000, indicating a more competitive offering and potential value for buyers.
Cons
Property Age & Potential Updates: Built in 1958, the property is likely to require significant capital expenditure for modernization, system upgrades (plumbing, electrical, HVAC), and deferred maintenance.
Extended Days on Market: With 177 days on market, despite a recent price drop, it suggests potential challenges in selling, possibly due to initial overpricing, condition, or other factors.
Relatively Small Total Square Footage: The total living area of 1500 sqft for two units (a 1-bedroom and a 3-bedroom) may result in smaller individual unit sizes, potentially limiting appeal to some tenants or owner-occupants seeking more spacious living.
