Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Development Potential: The 7,500 sq ft R2-zoned lot allows for duplex development or ADU addition, offering significant investment and future value opportunities for builders or investors.
Premier School District & Location: Situated in the highly desirable Mission San Jose neighborhood, steps from top-rated Mission Elementary and within the Fremont Unified School District, making it ideal for families.
Versatile Auxiliary Structure: A fully enclosed barn provides a 2-car tandem garage and a 400 sq ft bonus room, offering flexible space for a studio, office, or potential rental income.
Blend of Charm & Modernity: The 1924-built home retains historic charm while featuring key modern updates such as an updated kitchen, recessed lighting, and an EV charger.
Mature & Productive Landscaping: The lush backyard retreat boasts a vineyard-draped pergola and a variety of mature fruit trees, enhancing outdoor living and aesthetic appeal.

Cons

Advanced Age of Main Structure: Built in 1924, the primary residence is over a century old, potentially necessitating significant maintenance, system upgrades, or renovations beyond cosmetic updates.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1080 sq ft for a 3-bedroom home, the interior living space is relatively compact, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking larger living areas.
Significant Future Investment Required: While offering immense potential, maximizing the property's R2 zoning and addressing the age of the main house will likely demand substantial additional capital for construction or extensive renovations.
