More Insights

Built in 1910 (116 years old).
Condition: The main residence has undergone extensive recent renovations, featuring brand new vinyl flooring, freshly painted interiors/exteriors, a modern kitchen with new stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, and recently remodeled bathrooms with contemporary fixtures. This portion of the home is in excellent, move-in ready condition. However, the basement ADU, while clean and functional, presents an older style kitchen with white appliances and more traditional bathroom tiling. This slight discrepancy in renovation quality and style for the ADU prevents the entire property from being classified as 'Excellent' where all components are virtually new and meet current quality standards. Overall, the property is in good, move-in ready condition with no immediate renovations required.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Income-Generating Potential: The property includes a basement ADU with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, explicitly ideal for extended family or generating rental income, significantly enhancing its value and flexibility.
Extensive Recent Renovations: The home has been 'exquisitely updated' with freshly painted interior/exterior, brand new vinyl flooring, updated kitchen (cabinets, granite, new stainless steel appliances), and recently remodeled bathrooms, minimizing immediate buyer expenses.
Prime Downtown San Jose Location: Boasts an 'unbeatable central location' minutes from major attractions like SJSU, Spartan Stadium, Tech CU Arena, SAP Center, and offers quick access to major freeways, appealing to a wide range of buyers.
Development Potential & R2 Zoning: Situated on a generous R2-zoned lot with a sizable backyard, offering 'endless potential' for adding a garage, detached ADU, or expanding the main residence, providing future value and customization options.
Ample Parking & Spacious Interior: Features a side driveway extending through the lot for ample parking of multiple or oversized vehicles, complemented by an open and spacious floor plan with soaring 12-foot ceilings in the main residence.

Cons

Age of Core Infrastructure: Despite extensive cosmetic updates, the property was built in 1910, suggesting potential for original or aging major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may not have been fully replaced and could require future investment.
Undeveloped Backyard: While offering 'endless potential,' the description implies the backyard is a blank canvas, meaning a new owner will need to invest significant time and resources into landscaping and outdoor living development.
Basement ADU Specifics: As a basement unit, the ADU may inherently have limitations regarding natural light or ceiling height compared to above-ground units, and could present common challenges associated with older basements not detailed in the listing.
