Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1918, has received recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint and new flooring in the main living areas and bedrooms, making it appear clean and well-maintained in those spaces. However, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The kitchen features older painted cabinets, tiled countertops and backsplash (blue with red trim), and no visible modern appliances. The bathroom has pink tiled walls and an older vanity, indicative of renovations from several decades ago (likely 1950s-1970s). While functional, these key areas require substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards and styles. The overall condition is functional but shows clear signs of age in critical areas, aligning with the 'Fair' criteria of requiring minor updates or repairs, where major components are functional but outdated.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Exceptional Downtown Location: Situated in the heart of Downtown San Jose, offering immediate access to SJSU, major commute routes, and a vibrant array of dining and entertainment options.
Significant Development Potential: Features an expansive backyard ideal for future room additions, an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU), a pool, or creating a custom outdoor oasis, enhancing long-term value.
Turnkey Aesthetic Appeal: Recently updated with fresh paint and new fixtures, combined with abundant natural light and preserved original charm, making it attractive for immediate occupancy.
Versatile Buyer Opportunity: Positioned as an ideal acquisition for both first-time homebuyers seeking a charming residence and investors looking for a property with customization and income potential.
Generous Lot Size: A substantial 6,348 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space and supports the property's significant expansion and development opportunities.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 2.
Historic Property Considerations: Built in 1918, the home may present challenges associated with older infrastructure, potentially requiring updates to systems like plumbing, electrical, or HVAC, which are not specified as new.
Compact Interior Living Space: With 904 sqft, the interior living area is relatively small for a 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, which might be a limiting factor for buyers seeking more spacious accommodations.
Urban Environment Drawbacks: Its prime downtown location, while a strength, also implies potential for increased urban noise, traffic, and reduced privacy compared to suburban settings.
