Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1985, the property is nearly 40 years old and remains largely dated. While the interior is clean with newer laminate flooring, the kitchen features older white coil-top appliances and fluorescent box lighting, and the bathroom fixtures are basic. It is functional and move-in ready but requires cosmetic updates to meet modern standards.
Priced under $500,000, this property represents a rare and highly competitive entry point into the Silicon Valley real estate market, offering significant appeal for first-time buyers and investors.
The strategic location provides effortless access to Highways 85, 87, and 101, as well as proximity to VTA and Caltrain, making it ideal for professionals working throughout the Bay Area.
