Property is extensive renovation needed.
Built in 1955, this property shows significant age and a complete lack of modern updates. The kitchen features original or very old cabinetry, worn laminate countertops, and dated flooring, requiring a full renovation. The bathroom is similarly outdated with old fixtures, vanity, and flooring. Throughout the property, the carpets are worn and dated, and light fixtures are old. While seemingly functional, the property requires substantial rehabilitation and major system updates to meet current living standards, aligning with the 'poor' condition criteria.
The property is situated in a highly sought-after area of San Jose, offering excellent access to major freeways (280/101/880), shopping, schools, and close proximity to major employment hubs like the new Google campus and downtown San Jose.
The duplex is delivered vacant, providing immediate flexibility for an owner-occupant to move in or for an investor to set market rents and choose tenants without existing lease constraints.
Marketed as an 'excellent investment' with 'immediate upside potential' for both owner-occupants seeking to offset mortgage costs and buy-and-hold investors looking for a 'cash cow' in a high-demand market.
Built in 1955, the property is nearly 70 years old, which may imply outdated systems, deferred maintenance, or a need for significant capital investment to modernize and maximize rental income.
The description does not mention any recent upgrades or renovations to the units, suggesting they might be in original or dated condition, potentially requiring substantial cosmetic or functional improvements.
Beyond the year built, there is no detailed information provided about the current condition of major systems (e.g., roof, HVAC, plumbing, electrical), which could lead to unforeseen expenses for a new owner.
