Welcome to 1691 Topeka Avenue, a distinctive 4-bed, 3-bath residence in San Jose's cherished Rose Garden neighborhood! Designed around a central slate-tile atrium, this 2,106 sq ft home is bathed in natural light while offering exceptional privacy and architectural character throughout. Three beautifully updated full bathrooms provide modern style and comfort, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen-remodeled in a previous era-delivers both functionality and timeless charm. A long stamped concrete driveway leads to a oversized detached 2-car garage with workshop or flex space, ideal for creative projects, storage, or future expansion potential. The front yard features abundantly producing rose trees, while the peaceful backyard includes a lush lawn bordered by four mature red grapevines. A rooftop solar array-paid off at closing-will dramatically slash your PG&E bills and enhance long-term energy efficiency and sustainability. Located near the renown San Jose Municipal Rose Garden, Library, and the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum and distinguished Abraham Lincoln High. The nearby Alameda corridor adds lifestyle appeal with an eclectic mix of cafes, restaurants, Whole Foods Market, local businesses, and shops-all close at hand in this highly desirable, well-connected neighborhood.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
