Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1979, this home is over 45 years old and shows dated features such as popcorn ceilings and original-style sliding closet doors. While the water heater is new (2025) and the seller is providing termite clearance, the listing's suggestion to 'personalize and create your own space' indicates that the kitchen and bathrooms likely require modern updates to meet current standards.
The property offers detached living with no HOA fees at an attainable price point for the San Jose market, providing significant long-term savings for homeowners.
The backyard is well-equipped for entertaining, featuring a stamped concrete patio, a covered gazebo with a ceiling fan, and multiple mature fruit trees.
The seller is providing a Section 1 termite clearance prior to close and has recently replaced the water heater, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for the new owner.
With only two bedrooms and approximately 1,140 square feet, the home may feel restrictive for larger families or those requiring a dedicated home office.
The listing highlights an opportunity to personalize the space, suggesting that the interior may require additional investment in modern upgrades to reach its full potential.
