More Insights
Built in 1967 (58 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1967, this property has undergone extensive and recent renovations, bringing it to an 'excellent' condition. The listing explicitly states 'newer roof, new air conditioner, kitchen counter-top slab, soft closing drawers, new windows and much more!' The images confirm a modern aesthetic with new LVP/laminate flooring, fresh paint, recessed lighting, and updated fixtures throughout. The kitchen features new slab countertops, updated two-tone cabinets with modern hardware, and a stainless steel dishwasher, making it highly functional and visually appealing. While the range and refrigerator are white, they appear clean and well-maintained. The overall impression is of a property that has been virtually renewed within the last 5 years, meeting current quality standards with no deferred maintenance.

Cons
Recently Sold Property: The property was recently sold within the past year on 2025-09-16. The sold price is $1,150,000.00.
Older Construction Year: Built in 1967, the property's underlying structure is over 50 years old, which, despite recent cosmetic and system upgrades, may still imply older infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical not explicitly mentioned as fully updated) that could require future attention.
Modest Square Footage: With 1,208 SF of living space, the home is on the smaller side for a 3-bedroom property in the San Jose market, potentially limiting its appeal to buyers seeking more expansive interiors or accommodating larger families.
High Price Point for Size/Age: The list price of $1.35 million for a 1,208 SF home built in 1967, even with upgrades, represents a significant investment that may be a barrier for some buyers, particularly those seeking greater value per square foot or first-time buyers with more constrained budgets.
