Condition Rating
Poor
The property, built in 1959, is in a state that requires substantial repairs and rehabilitation. The kitchen is severely outdated, lacking appliances, featuring old cabinets and tiled countertops, and appears to be in an unfinished state with patchy walls. While some areas have updated laminate flooring and one bathroom (likely part of the garage conversion) shows more recent tiling, the primary bathroom is dated, and the overall aesthetic is inconsistent and worn. The unpermitted garage conversion is a significant concern, potentially leading to legal and costly remediation issues. Major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) are likely original or very old given the property's age and lack of comprehensive renovation, indicating a need for significant investment to bring the home to a functional and safe standard.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime San Jose Location: Situated in San Jose, a highly desirable and competitive real estate market with strong appreciation potential.
Excellent School Proximity: Located less than half a mile from Mt. Pleasant High School, which has a strong rating, making it attractive for families.
Value-Add Opportunity: The property offers clear potential for either light improvements or an extensive remodel, allowing buyers to customize and build equity.
Functional Layout: A 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom configuration is a practical and sought-after layout for many buyer demographics.
Generous Lot Size: The 5100 sqft lot provides ample outdoor space for landscaping, recreation, or potential future expansion of the home.
Cons
Age and Required Updates: Built in 1959, the property is over 60 years old, indicating that major systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and aesthetics may require significant investment for modernization.
Unpermitted Garage Conversion: The description notes a 'Garage Conversion with bath not included in property remarks,' strongly suggesting it may be unpermitted, which could lead to legal issues, fines, or costly remediation for the buyer.
Limited Interior Square Footage: At 1000 sqft, the interior living space is relatively compact for a 3-bedroom home in San Jose, potentially limiting appeal for larger families or those desiring more spacious living areas.
