More Insights
Built in 1968 (57 years old).
Condition: Built in 1968, this property has undergone significant and recent updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen is a standout feature, boasting a brand-new 2025 stove, 2019 fridge, Corian countertops, white cabinets, and recessed lighting, presenting as virtually new. Other major system updates include new interior paint (2025), replaced attic insulation (2023), an updated water heater (2021), and a new pool pump (2023), along with dual-pane windows and a smart thermostat. While the bathrooms are clean and functional, they do not appear to have been as extensively renovated as the kitchen, showing a slightly older style vanity and fixtures. The wood-look laminate flooring throughout is in good condition. The property is well-maintained with no immediate renovations required, fitting the 'Good' category, as not all components are 'virtually new' despite the extensive recent upgrades.

Convenient Commuter Location: The home offers easy access to Highways 85 & 87, making commuting a breeze, and is a short drive to local amenities including grocery stores, coffee shops, restaurants, and shopping.
Competitive Pricing: The current list price of $1.299M is below the estimated market value of $1.338M, suggesting a potentially attractive value proposition for buyers.
Cons
Original Construction Age: Built in 1968, the property's underlying structure and some systems may be older, potentially requiring future maintenance or updates beyond those already completed, despite recent cosmetic and system upgrades.
Modest Interior Square Footage: At 1,223 sq ft for a 3-bedroom home, the interior living space is relatively compact for the San Jose market, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive living areas.
Primary Bathroom Configuration: The en-suite bathroom features a shower over tub, which some buyers might perceive as less desirable or modern compared to a dedicated walk-in shower, especially in this price range.
