About this home

A unique property that offers an unbeatable combination of convenience, privacy, and versatility. Its proximity to downtown provides easy access to a range of amenities, from restaurants and shops to entertainment venues and cultural attractions. However, what truly sets this property apart is its massive lot, which creates a sense of seclusion and privacy that is hard to find in urban settings. The property backs up to the Coyote Creek Green Belt, which adds to the peaceful and natural setting of the property. With multiple dwellings on the property, including a Main House, Junior ADU, and Standard ADU it feels like a private compound that is perfect for extended family living or prospective landlords. A true double lot with 16,100 sq ft of usable space, zoned R2. Additional structures include detached garage, laundry room w/ 3 seperate storage spaces. BONUS: RV Parking Area w/ Full Hookups! Updated plumbing, electrical, windows (dual pane), roof, siding, foundation, driveway and much more!

Condition Rating
Good

Despite being built in 1901, the property has undergone extensive and recent updates to major systems including plumbing, electrical, windows, roof, siding, and foundation, as stated in the description. The main house interiors, particularly the living and dining areas, show modern finishes, hardwood floors, and are in excellent, move-in ready condition. While the kitchen shown (likely in one of the ADUs) and the laundry room appear functional but dated with older cabinets and appliances, the overall significant structural and system renovations elevate the property's condition to 'Good', requiring no immediate major renovations for comfortable living.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Income Potential & Versatility: Features multiple dwellings (Main House, Junior ADU, Standard ADU) on an R2 zoned double lot, ideal for extended family living or significant rental income generation.
Massive & Private Lot: A rare 16,100 sq ft double lot in an urban setting provides exceptional privacy and ample usable space, backing directly onto the Coyote Creek Green Belt.
Extensive Recent Updates: Significant capital improvements including updated plumbing, electrical, dual-pane windows, roof, siding, foundation, and driveway, reducing immediate buyer expenses.
Prime Location & Natural Setting: Offers the best of both worlds: convenient proximity to downtown San Jose amenities (restaurants, shops, entertainment) combined with the tranquility of a greenbelt-backed property.
Valuable Additional Amenities: Includes a detached garage, dedicated laundry room with storage, and a bonus RV parking area with full hookups, adding considerable utility and appeal.

Cons

Age of Original Construction: Built in 1901, despite extensive updates, the property's age may still present challenges with older infrastructure not explicitly mentioned as updated, or less contemporary layouts in certain areas.
Potential for Financing/Appraisal Complexity: Described as having a Main House, Junior ADU, and Standard ADU but listed as a 'Duplex,' which could lead to ambiguity for lenders or appraisers regarding the property's official classification and full income-generating potential.
Limited Main House Square Footage: The listed 1484 sqft for the main house might be perceived as modest for a property at this price point in San Jose, potentially narrowing the buyer pool for those seeking a larger primary residence.
