Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1949, this property is over 75 years old and lacks significant modern renovations. The kitchen and bathrooms are highly dated, featuring mid-century cabinetry, old tile countertops, and obsolete fluorescent lighting. The presence of wood-paneled walls, acoustic ceiling tiles, and older systems suggests the home has exceeded its functional lifespan without a major overhaul. The listing description itself emphasizes the land value and the potential to 'build the dream home,' confirming its status as a major rehab or redevelopment project.
The property has a large lot size, which is more than 4 times of its living area. lot size in square feet = 13510, living area = 1790.
The massive 13,510 sq ft lot is a rare find in Willow Glen, offering significant potential for expansion, a large-scale rebuild, or the addition of an ADU.
Situated in a prime neighborhood near Downtown Willow Glen and Lincoln Avenue, the property provides excellent proximity to boutique dining, Frank Bramhall Park, and major Silicon Valley transit routes.
