More Insights
This property has been on the market for 72 days.
Built in 1958 (67 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1958, features a recently updated kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and modern fixtures, which is a strong positive. The main living areas have consistent tile flooring and appear well-maintained. However, the visible wall heater suggests an older heating system, likely without central air conditioning, indicating that major systems are not fully updated. Furthermore, the unpermitted garage conversion with an additional bathroom is a significant concern that detracts from the overall condition and potential for future issues. While the kitchen is a highlight, the age of the core structure and systems, combined with the unpermitted work, places the property in the 'Fair' category, requiring minor updates or repairs to bring it to a higher standard.

Potential Value: Listed at $899,000, which is below the estimated property value of $924,026.02, suggesting a strong investment opportunity and good value for the location.
Cons
Unpermitted Garage Conversion: The garage conversion to a workspace/office and the additional 3rd bathroom have an unknown permit status, which could lead to legal issues, fines, or require costly remediation/permitting by the new owner.
Age of Property & System Updates: Built in 1958, while 'nice updates' are mentioned, the property's age suggests potential for original or aging major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that may require future investment if not already comprehensively updated.
Limited Official Square Footage: The official square footage of 1178 sqft is relatively modest for a 3-bedroom home in San Jose, and the converted garage space is not included in this count, potentially limiting appeal for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
