Condition Rating
Good
The property, built in 1935, has undergone significant recent updates including new interior paint, luxury vinyl flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms, a newer roof, and a newer heating system. One of the bathrooms has been recently added with modern finishes, presenting in excellent condition with contemporary tiling and fixtures. While the kitchen features dated tile counters, backsplash, and older-style floor tiles, it is functional and the cabinets have been cosmetically refreshed with paint. The overall condition is move-in ready, with major systems updated or well-maintained, aligning with a 'Good' rating despite the kitchen's need for future modernization.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Development & Expansion Potential: Zoned R2 with a large backyard, offering significant potential for expansion, adding an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), or future development, which is highly valuable in San Jose.
Exceptional Location & Connectivity: Prime San Jose location within walking distance to SJSU and downtown, providing excellent access to restaurants, entertainment, BART, and major highways (101, 280, 680).
Recent Key Updates: Features a newer roof, heating system, new interior paint, luxury vinyl flooring, and a recently added modern bathroom, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for buyers.
Flexible Living Space: Includes an office that can easily function as a guest room or third bedroom, adding versatility and value to the floor plan.
Broad Market Appeal: Described as a 'Charming Storybook Home' and suitable for both first-time homebuyers and investors, attracting a wide range of potential purchasers.

Cons

Dated Kitchen Finishes: The kitchen features 'tile counters and backsplash,' which may not meet current buyer expectations for modern aesthetics and could require future renovation.
Age-Related System Concerns: Built in 1935, despite some updates, the property may still have older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical beyond heating) that could require future investment or maintenance.
Above Estimated Market Value: The listing price is 6% higher than the estimated property value, which could influence buyer perception and negotiation dynamics.
