Cons

Unpermitted In-Law Unit: The 'permits unknown' status for the finished in-law basement unit presents a potential legal and financial risk for buyers regarding compliance and future use.
Limited Listed Square Footage: The listed 1218 sqft for a 3-bed, 3-bath home is relatively small for the price point in San Jose, potentially impacting perceived value or main living space, especially if the in-law unit is not fully accounted for in the total.
Ongoing Historic Home Maintenance: Despite major system upgrades, a 1900-built home may still incur higher or more specialized maintenance costs and considerations compared to newer constructions due to its age and original structure.
