Condition Rating
Good
The property was built in 1955, but the listing description explicitly states that 'All units have been remodeled with new kitchens and baths.' While the exterior images show a well-maintained older building, the lack of interior photos prevents a full assessment of the 'new' kitchens and baths' style, quality, and the exact renovation timeframe. However, assuming these critical areas are indeed updated as described, the property is likely move-in ready in those aspects. The exterior appears to be in good condition for its age, suggesting regular upkeep. Without a specific renovation date, it's difficult to assign 'Excellent,' but the stated renovations elevate it beyond 'Fair' or 'Poor'.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Downtown Location: Strategically situated in vibrant downtown San Jose, steps away from San Jose State University, SAP Center, Diridon Station, and Japantown, ensuring high tenant demand and desirability.
Turnkey Investment Opportunity: An excellent income-generating triplex with all units recently remodeled with new kitchens and baths, minimizing immediate capital expenditures for a new owner.
Diversified Income Stream: Comprises a desirable mix of two 1-bedroom/1-bathroom units and one 2-bedroom/1-bathroom unit, appealing to a broad renter demographic.
Ample Parking: Offers significant parking with a 2-car garage and 3 additional driveway spaces, a valuable amenity in a dense urban environment.
Enhanced Security & Privacy: Features secured gated entry and private entrances for each unit, providing a sense of safety and exclusivity for residents.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1955, the property's age suggests potential for older underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly mentioned as updated beyond kitchens and baths.
Limited Outdoor Space: The description notes a 'low maintenance back yard space' and a relatively small lot size (3024 sqft) for a triplex, which may limit appeal for tenants desiring larger private outdoor areas.
Potential for Urban Noise: Its location in a 'vibrant downtown' and proximity to major venues like SAP Center could expose residents to higher levels of city noise and activity.
