About This Home

As of August 2017

This is a wonderful opportunity to buy a very original two bedroom, one bathroom bungalow in the College Park neighborhood. This home retains many of the original details that make this era of homes so desirable. Conveniently located just a short distance from Downtown San Jose, The Arena, Santa Clara University and the stores, restaurants, and coffee shops along the bustling Alameda. While the home could use some updating, recent improvements including electrical service, light fixtures, garage door, refinished hardwood floors, partially rebuilt garage, and a new roof definitely get closer to having the perfect little cottage in a great neighborhood.
