More Insights
Built in 1910 (116 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1910, this property has undergone an extensive and recent renovation, making it virtually new in appearance and functionality. The description highlights 'exquisitely updated,' 'freshly painted interior and exterior,' 'brand new vinyl flooring throughout,' 'freshly painted kitchen cabinets,' 'newer granite countertops,' and 'brand new stainless steel appliances.' The images confirm a modern, clean aesthetic in the main kitchen with white cabinets, granite, and new appliances. Bathrooms are 'recently remodeled with tile walls and flooring, new vanities, and updated fixtures,' presenting a contemporary and pristine condition. The ADU also appears well-maintained and updated. All visible components meet current quality standards with no signs of deferred maintenance. While central AC is not mentioned, the sheer scope and recency of the renovations across all key areas justify an 'Excellent' rating.

Pros & Cons
Pros

Prime Downtown San Jose Location: Situated in an unbeatable central location, minutes from major attractions like SJSU, SAP Center, and various dining/shopping options, with excellent freeway access for convenient commuting.

Ample Parking & Unique Interior Features: A long side driveway provides abundant parking for multiple vehicles, complemented by an open floor plan and soaring 12-foot ceilings that create a spacious and appealing interior.
Cons
Age-Related Maintenance Concerns: Despite extensive updates, the property's 1910 construction year suggests potential for underlying infrastructure issues (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) that may not have been fully addressed, leading to future maintenance costs.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description does not mention a cooling system, which is common for homes of this vintage. This could be a significant discomfort during San Jose's hotter months and a potential upgrade cost for buyers.
Downtown Noise/Traffic Exposure: While the central location is a strength, being in the heart of Downtown San Jose can also mean increased exposure to urban noise, traffic, and potentially less privacy compared to suburban areas.
