Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1976, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality renovation, bringing it to a 'move-in ready' condition. The kitchen is modern with white shaker-style cabinets, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (gas cooktop, hood, microwave, electric oven, refrigerator), and a farmhouse sink. The bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, stone countertops, and tiled showers with glass enclosures. Throughout the home, there are desirable features such as hardwood floors (or high-quality LVP/laminate), recessed lighting, and neutral paint colors. Major systems like central AC and forced-air heating are present. While the exact renovation date isn't specified, the contemporary style and excellent condition of the finishes suggest a renovation within the last 5-15 years, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' score criteria.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Potential & Flexible Living: The property includes an additional 1 bed/1 bath unit with potential for division, offering significant income generation opportunities or flexible living arrangements for extended family.
Modernized Kitchen: The kitchen boasts modern upgrades including quartz countertops, a gas cooktop, hood over range, microwave, and electric oven, appealing to contemporary tastes and functional needs.
Comprehensive Climate Control: Equipped with central AC and forced-air heating, the home ensures year-round comfort, a crucial feature for the San Jose climate.
Desirable Interior Aesthetics: The main living areas feature vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a cozy fireplace, enhancing the home's appeal and ambiance.
Prime Location & School District: Situated in a prime San Jose location within the highly regarded Oak Grove Elementary School District, making it attractive to families seeking quality education and convenience.
Cons
Property Age: Built in 1976, the home's age may suggest potential for older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, roof) that could require future maintenance or upgrades beyond the noted interior improvements.
Modest Lot Size: With a lot size of 6200 sqft for a 5-bedroom home, some buyers, particularly those with larger families or a desire for extensive outdoor space, might find the yard size somewhat limited.
Partial Modernization: While the kitchen and some interior features are modern, the description does not confirm a full home renovation, implying other areas like bathrooms or the exterior may still reflect the original build era and could benefit from further updates.
