Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1946, has undergone recent cosmetic updates including new flooring, fresh paint, modern lighting, and a beautifully renewed bathroom. However, the kitchen features significantly outdated tiled countertops and the home relies on a wall-mounted AC unit rather than central air. While move-in ready and cosmetically appealing, these key components show signs of being outdated and would require further updates to meet modern standards, aligning with a 'Fair' condition rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Recent Updates: The home has been thoughtfully updated with new flooring, fresh interior paint, modern lighting, refreshed kitchen cabinetry, and a beautifully renewed bathroom, making it move-in ready.
Strategic Location & Connectivity: Ideally situated with convenient access to Highways 280 and 101, offering seamless connectivity to Silicon Valley's major employers, shopping, and dining.
Enhanced Exterior & Privacy: The exterior features fresh landscaping and secure, gated fencing, contributing to curb appeal and providing added privacy and security.
Single-Level Layout: As a single-level residence, it offers broad appeal for various demographics, including those seeking accessibility or a simpler living arrangement.
Competitive Pricing: Positioned as 'one of the best values in San Jose,' with recent price reductions making it more attractive and closer to its estimated market value.
Cons
Limited Living Space: With only 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 824 sqft, the property offers minimal living space, which may not accommodate larger households or those desiring more room.
Older Construction: Built in 1946, despite recent cosmetic updates, the property's age may imply potential for older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) that could require future maintenance or upgrades.
Small Lot Size: The 3600 sqft lot is relatively small for a single-family home, limiting outdoor space for recreation, gardening, or significant future expansion possibilities.
