Built in 1978, this property shows signs of regular maintenance but has not undergone a recent extensive renovation. The kitchen features dated white appliances, older white cabinets, and laminate countertops, while the bathrooms also present with older vanities and fixtures. Popcorn ceilings are visible in several rooms. While the laminate flooring in common areas is a positive update and solar panels add energy efficiency, the overall aesthetic and key components like the kitchen and bathrooms are outdated and would require minor to moderate updates to meet current buyer expectations.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Energy Efficiency & Cost Savings: Equipped with a modern solar panel system, this home significantly reduces utility costs and supports sustainable living, a major draw for environmentally conscious buyers.
Versatile Living & Income Potential: The property offers a first-floor bedroom/in-law quarters and excellent potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), making it ideal for multi-generational living or generating rental income.
Desirable Outdoor Amenities: Features a large backyard with mature landscaping, ample space for outdoor entertaining, and significant room for a pool, enhancing lifestyle and property value.
Strategic Location & Accessibility: Located in the highly sought-after Coyote Creek neighborhood, with walking distance to Shady Oaks Park and trails, and easy access to major freeways (101, 85, 280), shopping, and entertainment.
Spacious & Functional Layout: With 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms across nearly 2000 sqft, including an enclosed patio with a fireplace, the home provides ample and thoughtfully designed living space for various needs.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1987, other record living area = 1531.
List Price vs. Estimated Value: The current list price is 3% above the property's estimated market value, which may require strong justification or negotiation to attract buyers.
Potential for Dated Interior Elements: Built in 1978, while described as blending classic and modern, some interior finishes or systems (beyond the solar panels) may not be fully updated to contemporary standards, potentially requiring further investment from a buyer.
Lack of Explicit Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a central cooling system, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in San Jose and a potential upgrade cost.
