Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1988, this property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, bringing it to a virtually new condition. The description explicitly states 'fully renovated bathrooms,' 'updated kitchen features granite countertops, new appliances, gas stove,' 'new flooring,' 'new lighting,' and a 'water heater (2021).' The images confirm modern, high-end finishes in the kitchen (stainless steel appliances, quartz/granite counters, dark shaker cabinets, modern backsplash) and bathrooms (freestanding soaking tub, glass-enclosed walk-in shower with subway tile, dual vanities with granite/marble, modern fixtures). New LVP/laminate flooring, fresh paint, and recessed lighting throughout the living areas and bedrooms further support a 'turnkey' and 'excellent' condition, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Recent Remodel & Turnkey Condition: The property boasts significant recent upgrades including fully renovated bathrooms, new flooring, fresh paint, new lighting, new sliding doors, and a 2021 water heater, offering a move-in ready experience.
Prime Location & Desirable Community: Nestled in the highly sought-after Glencrest Patios community in San Jose, providing a peaceful, private setting and a prime location with easy access to amenities.
Top-Rated School District: Zoned for excellent public schools, including Williams Elementary (9/10), Bret Harte Middle (7/10), and Leland High (8/10), making it highly attractive for families.
Modern & Comfortable Living Features: The home offers an updated kitchen with granite countertops and new appliances, a spacious primary suite with luxurious finishes, central A/C, soaring ceilings, skylights, and two fireplaces for year-round comfort and a bright interior.
Community Amenities & Low HOA: Residents benefit from access to a community pool and low monthly HOA dues ($102), enhancing lifestyle without significant recurring costs.
Cons
Modest Lot Size: The 5,600 sqft lot, while private, may be considered modest for buyers desiring a larger outdoor living space or extensive gardening opportunities, especially for a detached home at this price point.
Age of Core Structure: Despite extensive recent remodels, the home's original construction year of 1988 means some underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond lighting) may still be original, which could be a long-term consideration for some buyers.
Community Association Restrictions: Being part of the Glencrest Patios community implies adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which could limit exterior modifications or certain lifestyle choices for buyers seeking complete autonomy.
