Original Construction Year: Despite extensive renovations, the home's original construction year of 1972 might imply older architectural styles or potential underlying structural considerations not explicitly detailed in the renovation scope.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The property description does not mention a cooling system, which could be a significant drawback for comfort during warmer months in the San Jose climate.
Average Lot Size: The 6,666 sqft lot size, while adequate, is not exceptionally large, which might be a consideration for buyers seeking more expansive outdoor space or greater privacy, especially given the property's price point.
