Condition Rating
Good
The property, specifically the unit showcased in the images, has undergone a significant and recent renovation, likely within the last 5-10 years. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, subway tile backsplash, and recessed lighting. The bathroom is similarly updated with a modern vanity, fixtures, and subway tile shower surround. New light grey wood-look laminate flooring has been installed throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. While the home was built in 1971 and retains some older elements like popcorn ceilings and an visible older exterior AC unit, the extensive and stylish updates make the shown unit move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. This aligns well with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within 5-15 years and being move-in ready, despite not being a full, top-to-bottom renovation.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income-Generating Duplex: As a duplex, the property offers immediate rental income potential with one unit already tenant-occupied, making it attractive for investors or owner-occupants seeking supplementary income.
Prime San Jose Location: The 'excellent location' provides high walkability to amenities like Princeton Plaza, farmers market, and DeAnza park, plus convenient access to major highways (17/85/87), shopping, and restaurants.
Desirable Unit Amenities: Each unit benefits from a private one-car garage and in-unit laundry, highly sought-after features that enhance tenant appeal and convenience.
Private Outdoor Spaces: Both units feature sunny, private courtyards and large fenced backyards, providing valuable outdoor living and entertaining areas for residents.
Partial Remodel: One of the units has been remodeled, suggesting updated living spaces and potentially reducing immediate renovation costs for that specific unit.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1971, the property may have original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require significant maintenance, repair, or replacement in the near future, despite any partial remodels.
Tenant Occupancy Constraints: One unit is tenant-occupied, which restricts immediate owner occupancy of that unit and requires coordination for showings, potentially complicating the sales process or a buyer's plans for full occupancy or renovation.
Unspecified Remodel Scope: While one unit is noted as 'remodeled,' the description lacks specific details on the extent of the remodel (e.g., kitchen, baths, systems, finishes), and the condition of the non-remodeled unit is not specified, leading to potential unknowns for a buyer.
