Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1889, this historic Victorian is well-maintained but dated. The bathroom features older tile-top vanities and fixtures likely over 20 years old, and the interior finishes like the carpeting and trim reflect an older renovation style. While functional and staged for sale, the property requires modernization of its primary systems and cosmetic updates to meet current market standards.
Situated minutes from Downtown San Jose and the proposed Google Downtown West development, the property offers exceptional long-term appreciation potential and proximity to major transit hubs like Caltrain and the SAP Center.
