Open Concept Living: The open layout design maximizes space and flow, creating an inviting atmosphere for gatherings and modern family living.
Strong Family Appeal: Marketed as 'Perfect for a Growing Family!', the home's size, layout, and location are tailored to attract family buyers looking for comfort and functionality.
Cons
Age of Property & Systems: Built in 1965, the property's age suggests that major systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC) may be original or older, potentially requiring future maintenance or costly upgrades not explicitly mentioned.
Unspecified Interior Updates: While described as offering 'modern living,' the listing lacks specific details on recent high-value renovations (e.g., kitchen, bathrooms), which could imply some areas may be dated or require significant investment to meet contemporary buyer expectations.
Competitive Price Point for Age: The $1.699M list price for a 1965 build, without explicit mention of extensive, high-end renovations, may face scrutiny from buyers comparing it to newer or more thoroughly updated properties in the San Jose market.
