built in 1903 and inhabited — not just lived in — for over forty years by the same family, this victorian era home is one block from san jose city hall and ready for its next chapter.
original details throughout: claw-foot tub, turned light switches, commissioned stained glass entry, rescued chandeliers, beautiful original windows, and tall ceilings that keep the home naturally cool through valley summers. the light in the dining room has to be seen.
solid where it counts: updated and bolted foundation, on-demand water heater, leased solar (year 18 of 20), new stove and washer, fireplace insert s. roof maintained and ready to wait for the solar lease to expire. the rear offers two flexible studio spaces with kitchenettes — multi-generational living, creative workspace, or room for extended family.
sunny fenced yard. detached garage. the kitchen, bathrooms, and back porch are ready for your vision. this home will ask something of you — and pay you back with beauty, history, and community in a neighborhood that is decidedly on the rise.
for the right buyer, this is not a compromise. it is a find.
