Pros & Cons

Pros

Exceptional Location & Walkability: Situated in the heart of San Jose, offering unparalleled convenience with walking distance to major tech employers, SJSU, City Hall, Japantown, vibrant downtown shops and restaurants, and the expansive Backesto Park.
Significant Modern Upgrades & Energy Efficiency: Features a brand-new central A/C, owned solar system, smart home technology, double-pane windows, and new washer/dryer, ensuring comfort, substantial energy savings, and reduced utility costs.
ADU Potential & Versatile Garage: A spacious detached two-car garage presents excellent potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) for rental income or extended family, and is already prepped for EV charger adaptation, adding significant future value.
Charming Craftsman Style with Quality Finishes: Retains its desirable Craftsman character while boasting updated interiors with premium materials like travertine and hardwood floors, and generously sized bathrooms, blending historic charm with modern comfort.
Flexible Living Spaces: The home offers two primary bedroom suites, a den (converted from a 3rd bedroom), a modern kitchen equipped with high-end appliances, and a partial basement providing additional space for a workshop or studio, catering to diverse living needs.

Cons

Limited True Bedroom Count: While listed as 3 bedrooms, one is described as a 'den converted from the 3rd bedroom,' which may not function as a full, private bedroom for all buyers, potentially narrowing its appeal to families specifically needing three distinct bedrooms.
Older Home Construction (1910): Despite extensive updates, the property's 1910 construction year might raise concerns for some buyers regarding potential unseen issues common with older homes, such as original plumbing, electrical, or foundation elements, even if currently updated.
Compact Interior Square Footage: At 1304 sq ft for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, the interior living space is relatively compact, which could be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive living areas, especially within the competitive San Jose market.
