    What's special

    Calling all contractors and investors! This 1,160 sq ft home in San Jose is priced for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and unlock its full potential. Featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, this property offers a solid layout with a separate dining area and family room great bones for a strategic renovation or floor plan reconfiguration. Character details include a dual gas-burning and wood-burning fireplace, a rare feature worth preserving or restoring as a centerpiece. Flooring throughout will need updating, offering a blank slate for a buyer with vision. No heating or cooling system is currently in place, presenting an opportunity to install a modern, energy-efficient system as part of a full renovation. A detached one-car garage adds storage and workspace potential during the remodel, with flexibility for future use as a workshop, studio, or ADU conversion (buyer to verify with the city). Located within the desirable San Jose Unified Elementary School District, this home is well-suited for a value-add renovation, flip, or rental repositioning project. Sold as-is bring your contractor and your vision.
