Condition Rating
Excellent
Despite being built in 1965, this property has undergone an extensive and very recent renovation, bringing it to an excellent condition. The kitchen features modern grey shaker cabinets, white quartz countertops, subway tile backsplash, and new stainless steel appliances. All bathrooms are similarly updated with contemporary vanities, fixtures, and tiling. New wood-look laminate flooring is consistent throughout the living areas and bedrooms, and modern light fixtures and a cable railing system indicate a comprehensive update. All visible components appear new or virtually new, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Versatile Layout for Families: The spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bath layout, including two downstairs bedrooms and a full bath, is ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or flexible home office use, catering perfectly to growing families.
Prime Location & Convenience: Strategically located within walking distance to schools and minutes from shopping, dining, and freeway access, offering exceptional convenience for daily living and commutes.
Excellent Outdoor Living Space: Features an expansive backyard and deck, providing ample space for entertaining, relaxation, and outdoor activities, a highly desirable amenity in the San Jose market.
Open Concept Living: The open layout design maximizes space and flow, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings and modern family living.
Strong Family Appeal: Marketed as 'Perfect for a Growing Family!', the home's size, layout, and location are tailored to attract family buyers looking for comfort and functionality.
Cons
Age of Property & Systems: Built in 1965, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or costly upgrades not explicitly mentioned.
Unspecified Interior Updates: While described as offering 'modern living,' the listing lacks specific details on recent high-value renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms), which could imply some areas may be dated or require significant investment to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
Competitive Price Point for Age: The $1.699M list price for a 1965 build, without explicit mention of extensive, high-end renovations, may face scrutiny from buyers comparing it to newer or more thoroughly updated properties in the San Jose market.
