More Insights

Built in 1927 (99 years old).
Condition: This property, though built in 1927, underwent an extensive remodel in 2016, which is 8 years ago. The description and images clearly show that the renovation was comprehensive, resulting in a home where virtually all components meet current quality standards. The kitchen features high-end gourmet appliances, honed-marble island, quartz countertops, and Carrara marble backsplash, all in pristine, modern condition. Bathrooms are equally impressive with modern tiling, fixtures, and designs, including a walk-in shower with a bench and a stylish tub. Hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and designer upgrades are evident throughout the main house. The detached ADU also presents with modern, updated finishes in its kitchen and bathroom. The property shows no signs of deferred maintenance and minimal physical depreciation, making it feel virtually new despite the age of the original structure. The outdoor spaces are also meticulously maintained and updated for modern living.

Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 4, other record bedroom count = 3.
Age of Original Construction: Built in 1927, the property's original structure is nearly a century old, which may imply potential for age-related maintenance or structural considerations despite extensive remodeling.
Absence of Central Cooling System: The property description does not mention a central air conditioning system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in San Jose.
