Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1979, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, likely within the last 5 years. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel appliances, and light wood-look countertops. The bathrooms are exceptionally updated with contemporary vanities, gold-toned fixtures, large format tiling, and glass shower enclosures, reflecting current design trends. New light-toned flooring and recessed lighting throughout the living areas and bedrooms contribute to a bright, modern, and move-in ready feel. All visible interior components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons

Exceptional Location & Commuter Access: The property boasts a highly desirable location, steps from Regional Medical Hospital, pharmacies, and doctors' offices, coupled with easy freeway access, making it ideal for medical professionals and commuters.
Turnkey Convenience: Equipped with a well-appointed kitchen including a dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator, plus in-unit washer/dryer upstairs, offering immediate move-in readiness and reducing initial buyer expenses.
Dedicated Parking: The inclusion of two assigned parking spaces directly at the backdoor provides significant convenience and added value in a dense urban area like San Jose.
Abundant Natural Light: Described as 'bright and airy with lots of natural light,' this feature enhances the living experience and makes the compact interior feel more open and inviting.
Ideal Starter Home Appeal: Positioned as a 'charming starter home,' it appeals strongly to first-time buyers or small households seeking an accessible entry point into the competitive San Jose real estate market.
Cons
Compact Living Space: At 956 square feet, the property offers limited living area, which may not suit buyers desiring more room or planning for future family expansion.
High Monthly Association Dues: The $430 monthly association fee represents a significant ongoing expense, potentially impacting overall affordability and deterring some budget-conscious buyers.
