Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1948, this property is well-maintained for its age, featuring recent upgrades like a new roof and asphalt driveway. However, the interior, particularly the kitchen and bathroom, shows signs of being outdated. The kitchen has an updated stainless steel range but retains dated tile countertops, backsplash, and older cabinets. The bathroom is functional with a newer vanity but features older tile work and track lighting. Flooring is a mix of worn carpets and dated tiles. While a mini-split AC unit is a positive addition, the overall aesthetic and some components require minor to moderate updates to meet current quality standards.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong Investment Potential: This duplex is explicitly marketed as a promising investment opportunity, offering two separate units (2 bed, 1 bath each) for dual rental income streams in a high-demand area.
Prime San Jose Location: The property boasts a highly desirable location with excellent proximity to major freeways, diverse shopping centers, prominent malls, and a university, enhancing tenant appeal and long-term value.
Recent Capital Improvements: Significant recent upgrades, including a new shingle roof and asphalt driveway, address major maintenance items and reduce immediate capital expenditure for a new owner.
Tenant-Friendly Amenities: Each unit features convenient in-unit laundry facilities, a highly sought-after amenity that adds significant value and appeal for prospective renters.
Valuable Parking & Storage: A detached two-car garage provides essential off-street parking and additional storage space, a considerable advantage in an urban environment like San Jose.
Cons
Property Age & Potential for Dated Interiors: Built in 1948, the property, despite external upgrades, may have older internal systems (plumbing, electrical) and potentially dated interior finishes that could require significant renovation to maximize rental income or appeal.
Shared Outdoor Space: The shared backyard, while providing outdoor access, may be less desirable for some tenants seeking private outdoor space and could lead to potential management complexities between units.
Mixed School Ratings: While located in a good district, some nearby public schools have moderate to lower ratings (e.g., 3-5 out of 10), which could be a consideration for families with school-aged children.
