Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
Despite being built in 1901, the property has undergone extensive and recent updates to major systems including plumbing, electrical, windows, roof, siding, and foundation, as stated in the description. The main house interiors, particularly the living and dining areas, show modern finishes, hardwood floors, and are in excellent, move-in ready condition. While the kitchen shown (likely in one of the ADUs) and the laundry room appear functional but dated with older cabinets and appliances, the overall significant structural and system renovations elevate the property's condition to 'Good', requiring no immediate major renovations for comfortable living.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Income Potential & Versatility
Features multiple dwellings (Main House, Junior ADU, Standard ADU) on an R2 zoned double lot, ideal for extended family living or significant rental income generation.
- Massive & Private Lot
A rare 16,100 sq ft double lot in an urban setting provides exceptional privacy and ample usable space, backing directly onto the Coyote Creek Green Belt.
- Extensive Recent Updates
Significant capital improvements including updated plumbing, electrical, dual-pane windows, roof, siding, foundation, and driveway, reducing immediate buyer expenses.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Age of Original Construction
Built in 1901, despite extensive updates, the property's age may still present challenges with older infrastructure not explicitly mentioned as updated, or less contemporary layouts in certain areas.
- Potential for Financing/Appraisal Complexity
Described as having a Main House, Junior ADU, and Standard ADU but listed as a 'Duplex,' which could lead to ambiguity for lenders or appraisers regarding the property's official classification and full income-generating potential.
- Limited Main House Square Footage
The listed 1484 sqft for the main house might be perceived as modest for a property at this price point in San Jose, potentially narrowing the buyer pool for those seeking a larger primary residence.
