More Insights
Built in 1962 (64 years old).
Condition: Built in 1962, this property has undergone extensive renovations that bring it to a 'good' condition. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, which are modern and well-maintained, though the cabinet style suggests the renovation is likely 10-15 years old rather than brand new. The bathrooms are also updated, with the primary bath offering a jetted tub and separate shower with quality finishes, consistent with a renovation in the 5-15 year range. Red oak hardwood floors are present throughout much of the home, and vaulted ceilings with recessed lighting provide a contemporary feel. The addition of a sunroom and a finished bonus room with a full bath in the garage significantly enhances living space and versatility. An owned solar system is a valuable modern upgrade. While the property lacks central air conditioning, which is a notable comfort system absence, the overall condition is move-in ready with no immediate renovations required, aligning well with the 'good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1873, other record living area = 1300.
Age of Construction: Built in 1962, the property's age suggests that some original systems (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation) may be nearing the end of their lifespan or may not meet modern efficiency standards, potentially requiring future investment.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights a gas fireplace for heating but makes no mention of a cooling system, which could be a significant comfort drawback during warmer months in San Jose.
Potential for Dated Aesthetics/Layout: While some updates are mentioned, the 'unique' nature and 1962 build year might mean certain areas or overall design elements could feel dated to some buyers, potentially requiring further cosmetic updates to align with contemporary tastes.
