About This Home
As of June 2024Charming, expanded and updated 1939 home less than one block from the shops and dining of San Joses Japan town. Incredible curb appeal with mature lush landscaping complete with dry river bed. Cozy front porch. Spacious living room with authentic original art deco ceiling fixture and sconces over the wood burning fireplace. Bright breakfast room with original built-in corner cabinet. Updated kitchen with a Thermador gas range, Bosch dishwasher, Corian and butcher block counters, and a refinished undermount sink. The original home was expanded to add a very large dining room that is ideal for use as a great family room with decorative lighting, open to the kitchen. Pocket doors lead to a perfect office or play room. Large primary suite surrounded by windows looking into the massive backyard with several mature fruit bearing trees and a flagstone patio. The entire home has oak hardwood flooring and freshly painted walls. Amazing energy efficiency with all dual-pane windows, high efficiency furnace and Nest thermostat, and a totally owned photovoltaic solar array. Large 7000 sqft R2 lot with a detached garage that can be converted to an ADU. So many great shops and restaurants nearby yet a very quiet and peaceful location. An impressive property you will be proud to call home.
