Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1908 with no evidence of recent major renovations; the interior features dated carpeting, older ceiling fans, and original windows likely exceeding 30 years in age. The description's emphasis on 'original woodwork' and providing a 'foundation for the next owner' indicates a need for a full rehab to modernize the kitchen, baths, and likely aging systems.
Built in 1908, this home features beautifully preserved original woodwork and architectural details that define the timeless appeal of the Craftsman era.
Situated in one of San Jose's most prestigious historic neighborhoods, the property offers excellent walkability to San Jose State University and a vibrant, community-oriented atmosphere.
The 6,350 square foot lot includes a converted garage workshop, providing a rare and flexible space for creative projects, a home office, or a hobbyist's studio.
