North San Jose 3BR/2.5BA Home | Huge Backyard, Detached 2-Car Garage, Solar & EV Charging
$5,800/month | Available October | Month-to-Month | Approx. 1,800 SF | Nearly 10,000 SF Lot
Enjoy an unusual amount of space in North San Jose with this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home on a nearly 10,000-square-foot lot. An expansive backyard, detached finished 2-car garage, abundant off-street parking, owned solar and EV charging offer a combination of indoor and outdoor space that's increasingly difficult to find in this part of Silicon Valley.
The approximately 1,800-square-foot home combines Victorian character with a comfortable, functional layout. The oversized primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and freshly updated ensuite bathroom, while two additional generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for sleeping, work-from-home or hobby space.
The kitchen offers ample cabinetry, a walk-in pantry and direct access to the front deck. A dedicated mudroom and separate laundry room add useful storage and everyday functionality. Additional features include laminate flooring throughout most living areas, central heating and air conditioning, and an energy-efficient heat pump with automatic gas backup.
The main living areas were painted in spring 2025, with the front bedrooms and primary bathroom freshly painted.
OUTDOOR SPACE
One of the property's standout features is its exceptionally large yard. The backyard extends across the width of the property with plenty of room for outdoor dining, entertaining, gardening and play.
Outdoor features include a large paver patio, pergola, expansive lawn, outdoor utility sink, space for gardening and an existing swing set available for tenant use.
The front yard includes established lemon, lime, seedless mandarin, peach and apple trees, along with a growing persimmon tree.
GARAGE + PARKING
The detached finished 2-car garage offers much more than vehicle storage, with side-door access, a second garage door opening directly to the backyard, and a half bath. The additional finished space works well for storage, hobbies, projects or a work-from-home setup.
Off-street parking is exceptionally generous. The primary driveway can accommodate 3+ vehicles or a trailer, with a second driveway providing space for an additional vehicle.
SOLAR + EV CHARGING
The home includes an owned solar system and EV charging. Solar helps offset household electricity use; actual savings will vary based on consumption, particularly with regular EV charging or other high electricity usage.
LOCATION
Conveniently located for access to North San Jose, Santa Clara, Milpitas, Sunnyvale and surrounding Silicon Valley employment centers.
Approximately 3 minutes to Topgolf, 3 minutes to Alviso Marina County Park, 5 minutes to Target and 10 minutes to Levi's Stadium, with the Alviso Library, Community Center and neighborhood park within walking distance.
Nearby Alviso Marina County Park provides access to the South Bay shoreline, walking and biking trails, wildlife viewing, and boat, kayak and stand-up paddleboard launching.
