Desirable Evergreen Location: Situated in the heart of Evergreen, San Jose, the property benefits from a sought-after address known for its community and access to Silicon Valley opportunities.
Cons
Limited Interior Square Footage: At 1320 sqft, the home's interior living space is relatively modest for its price point in the San Jose market, potentially limiting appeal to buyers seeking larger homes.
Age of Construction: Despite being 'beautifully upgraded,' the 1968 build year may imply older underlying systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that could require future attention or updates not explicitly mentioned.
Unspecified School District: The 'Other' designation for the high school district lacks specific information, which could be a concern for family-oriented buyers prioritizing school quality in a competitive area like San Jose.
