Condition Rating
Poor
Built in 1968, this property is explicitly marketed as a 'contractor's special,' indicating a need for substantial work. The kitchen features very dated wood cabinets, old laminate countertops, and basic fixtures, requiring a full renovation. The bathroom is similarly outdated with an older vanity, dated strip lighting, and older tile, also needing significant rehabilitation. While some rooms have newer laminate flooring and fresh paint, the core components, especially the kitchen and bathroom, are well past their expected lifespan and require major updates. The exterior and landscaping also appear neglected. This property requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation to meet modern standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Large Lot Size: The property boasts a generous 6600 sqft lot, offering significant outdoor space and potential for future expansion or landscaping.
Cul-de-sac Location: Situated on a cul-de-sac, the home benefits from reduced traffic, enhanced privacy, and a generally quieter, safer environment.
Investment Potential: Marketed as a 'contractor's special,' this property offers a prime opportunity for renovation and customization, allowing for significant value appreciation for the right buyer or investor.
Desirable Market Location: Located in San Jose, a highly sought-after and competitive real estate market, indicating strong long-term appreciation potential.
Single-Family Residence: As a single-family home, it appeals to a broad buyer base and typically holds value well compared to other property types.
Cons
Condition (Contractor's Special): The designation 'contractor's special' explicitly indicates the property requires substantial renovation, repairs, and capital investment, which will add significantly to the overall cost.
Limited Living Space: With only 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 930 sqft, the property offers relatively small living quarters, potentially limiting its appeal to larger families or those desiring more space.
Age of Property: Built in 1968, the home is over 50 years old, suggesting that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and finishes are likely original and will require costly updates or replacement.
