More Insights
Built in 1915 (110 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1915, this property has undergone significant and tasteful renovations, particularly evident in the kitchen and main living areas. The kitchen features modern dark shaker cabinets, light stone countertops, a contemporary mosaic backsplash, and stainless steel appliances, along with recessed and pendant lighting, indicating updates likely within the last 5-15 years. The living and dining rooms boast dark hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and a modern aesthetic. While the bedrooms have carpeting and the basement features basic lighting, the overall impression is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. The property successfully blends period charm with modern amenities. However, without explicit details or visual confirmation of major system updates (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) for a home of this age, and the lack of bathroom images, it cannot be classified as 'Excellent' where all components are virtually new.

Pros & Cons
Pros
Prime Willow Glen Location: Exceptional location in the desirable Palm Haven neighborhood, offering walkability to Lincoln Avenue's amenities and excellent access to downtown San Jose, major freeways (280/87), SJC airport, and Silicon Valley's tech hub.
Spacious & Versatile Living: Generous ~2600 sq. ft. main house with an additional 600+ sq. ft. finished basement, providing extensive flexible space for various uses (game room, office, family area, gym) and ample storage.
Charming & Updated Interiors: Features unique period architectural details blended with modern amenities, including a large, updated eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances, dark hardwood floors, and curved ceilings, offering both character and contemporary comfort.
Recent Price Adjustment: Benefits from a significant $82,000 price improvement, indicating a motivated seller and potentially enhanced value for prospective buyers in a competitive market.
Functional Layout & Outdoor Space: Thoughtful floor plan includes a primary suite with ensuite bath and walk-in closet, an additional first-floor bedroom with office area, and three bathrooms with double sinks. Complemented by a large, gated, covered backyard patio and a garage with a wide driveway.
Cons
Age of Construction: Built in 1915, the property, despite modern updates, may present potential long-term maintenance considerations associated with an older home's infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical, foundation, roof).
Variable School Performance: While some nearby schools boast strong ratings, others in the immediate vicinity have lower performance scores, which could be a factor for families prioritizing consistently top-rated public education across all grade levels.
Bedroom Flooring: The presence of carpeting in the bedrooms, while comfortable, may not align with all buyers' preferences for hardwood or more contemporary, low-maintenance flooring throughout the entire living space.
