Condition Rating
Good
Despite being built in 1901, this property has undergone significant recent renovations, including updated kitchen and bathrooms, a new roof, and a new electrical panel, making it a 'turn-key' home. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and updated cabinetry, while the bathroom boasts a contemporary vanity and tiled shower. These key areas appear to have been renovated within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for extensively renovated properties. Major systems are functional and well-maintained, indicating it is move-in ready with minimal wear and tear in the updated spaces.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Income Generating Potential: The property features two units on one lot (main home + studio), offering immediate rental income or the flexibility to live in one unit and rent out the other. The unfinished basement also presents an opportunity for additional income.
Prime Location & Accessibility: Strategically located just 3 minutes from San Jose State University, with excellent walkability and bikeability. It offers great commuter access and is close to shopping, restaurants, parks, Japan Town, San Pedro Square, SAP Center, Diridon Station, and Google Village.
Recent Major Updates: Significant capital improvements have been completed, including a new roof, new electrical panel, updated kitchen and baths, and fumigation, reducing immediate maintenance concerns for a buyer.
Turn-Key Condition: Described as a 'Turn Key property,' it is ready for immediate occupancy or rental without requiring major renovations or repairs upon purchase.
Versatile Use: The dual-unit setup and prime location make it suitable for various buyers, including investors seeking rental income, owner-occupants looking to offset mortgage costs, or those needing a separate space for guests or a home office.
Cons
MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1064, other record living area = 920. Bedroom count discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing bedroom count = 3, other record bedroom count = 1.
Age of Property: Built in 1901, the property is over a century old. While major updates are noted, older homes can still present challenges with underlying infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, foundation, insulation) not explicitly mentioned as updated.
Compact Living Space: The main home is 1064 sq ft for 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, and the studio unit is approximately 300 sq ft. This relatively compact living space might be a consideration for larger families or those desiring more expansive interiors.
Elementary School Rating: The closest elementary school (Grant Elementary School) has a rating of 2 out of 10, which could be a deterrent for families with young children and potentially impact a segment of the buyer pool.
