Fantastic starter home in the middle downtown San Jose. Built in 1940, the house has tons of vintage charm, but with a lot of tasteful updates. Originally a 2/1, a spacious Primary Suite was added in the 1990s, bringing the home to 3 bedrooms, 2 baths. Then another update opened one of the original bedrooms up to create a light-filled office/family room in the middle of the house, bringing it to its current form of a 2/2. There is a long driveway, a 1-car garage, a studio space behind the garage and a large, low-maintenance yard, full of maple and fruit trees, and mature rosebushes in the front. This home is full of potential, centrally located to shopping, freeways, restaurants, and all the cultural events of downtown. Come check out your dream home!

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
