New wide-plank vinyl flooring is installed throughout, and lighting fixtures are modern.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Extensive Modern Updates: The property boasts recent, high-quality renovations including an open-concept layout, new wide-plank vinyl flooring, and a fully updated kitchen with Quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances, providing a move-in ready experience.
ADU Conversion Potential: The presence of a utility room in the back of the lot with a separate utility meter offers significant value and future income potential through an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) conversion.
Prime Central San Jose Location: Strategically located minutes from SJSU, Downtown San Jose, and a variety of restaurants and shops, offering excellent walkability and access to urban amenities.
Excellent Commuter Access: Direct and easy access to major freeways (101 and 280) is a significant advantage for residents commuting throughout the Bay Area.
Bright & Open Living Space: The airy, open-concept layout flooded with natural light creates a desirable and contemporary living environment, maximizing the perceived space.
Cons
Compact Size: At 852 sqft with 2 beds and 1 bath, the property's relatively small footprint may limit its appeal to buyers seeking more living space or accommodating larger households.
Age of Original Structure: Despite cosmetic updates, the 1930 build year suggests potential for underlying older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may require future attention or inspection beyond the visible renovations.
Limited Bathroom Count: Only one bathroom could be a practical limitation for multiple occupants or guests, potentially impacting daily convenience and resale value for some buyer segments.
