Condition Analysis
See Full ReportOVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Poor
TeardownExcellent
Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1941 with no significant updates, this property is in original condition and requires a total rehab. The interior shows severe neglect, including heavily stained carpeting, a dated and incomplete kitchen, and peeling wallpaper in the bathroom. The listing explicitly states it requires substantial renovation, making it a candidate for a full contractor overhaul rather than simple cosmetic fixes.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Prime Willow Glen Location
Situated just one mile from downtown Willow Glen and within the highly-rated Booksin Elementary boundary, this property offers exceptional long-term value in one of San Jose's most prestigious neighborhoods.
- Significant Development Potential
The 6,200 square foot lot includes a wide driveway and a detached two-car garage, providing an ideal footprint for a potential ADU, workshop, or home expansion to maximize the property's utility.
- High Investment Upside
Priced under $1M with original character like hidden hardwood floors and plaster archways, this classic bungalow presents a rare 'blank canvas' opportunity for contractors or investors to build significant equity.
CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Extensive Renovation Required
The property is explicitly listed as requiring substantial renovation, which will necessitate a significant additional capital investment and a lengthy construction timeline before it is move-in ready.
- Limited Existing Layout
With only two bedrooms and a single bathroom in a 1,053 square foot footprint, the current configuration is restrictive for modern family standards and likely requires a costly structural expansion.
