About This Home

As of June 2023

Lovely well kept home in the heart of San Jose. Close to newly developed transportation stations for easy access to downtown San Jose and vicinity. Close to all supermarket and restaurants and minutes away from the 680 and 101 freeway. Newly painted interior. Beautifully remodeled and customized stairs. Washer and dryer is already upstairs!! Newer bathroom amenities. Bright and airy home. Why pay the same amount to have neighbors live above or below you and pay for more HOA in a condominium community? This home serves Independence HS, a well rated school in the north valley. For value, location and endless possibilities, this is the best choice and best chance to start owning your own home and stop renting. Your home awaits you!!
