Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1952, this property features a kitchen with dated tiled countertops and older wood cabinets, suggesting a renovation that is likely 15-30+ years old, despite newer stainless steel appliances. While some bathrooms have been more recently updated with modern fixtures and tiling, the overall aesthetic, particularly in the kitchen, requires minor updates to align with current styles. Hardwood floors are present and well-maintained, and the property appears to have been regularly kept up, but the kitchen's condition prevents a 'Good' rating.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Premier Location: Situated in a prime Hamann Park location, just steps from Santana Row and Valley Fair, offering exceptional convenience and access to top shopping, dining, and entertainment. Excellent freeway access (I-280, I-880, CA-17) further enhances connectivity.
Oversized Lot with Development Potential: Features a rare, oversized 9,800 sq. ft. lot, providing significant space for outdoor living and substantial potential for an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or future expansion.
Exceptional Outdoor Amenities: The spacious backyard is a lush retreat, complete with a covered patio, pool, pond, and mature landscaping, ideal for year-round relaxation and entertaining.
Classic Interior Features: The home boasts hardwood floors throughout, offering timeless appeal and durability, complemented by a well-maintained kitchen and baths.
Highly-Rated Schools: Located within the attendance zone for Del Mar High School, which holds a 5-star rating, adding significant value for families.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1952, the home's age may imply older systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future upgrades or more frequent maintenance.
Modest Interior Square Footage: With 1454 sq. ft. of living space, the interior might be considered relatively compact for some buyers, especially given the large lot size and the property's price point in the San Jose market.
Potential for Modernization: While described as 'well-maintained,' the kitchen and baths are not explicitly noted as recently updated or remodeled, suggesting potential for cosmetic or functional renovations to meet contemporary tastes.
