Driveway long enough for 10 to 12 cars with the enjoyment of the backyard. This 1910 beautifully restored 3-bed, 2-bath home spans 1,518 sqft on a generous 7,450 sqft lot. Inside the historic facade are 10ft high ceilings and an open, airy layout. The previous owner renovated the home in 2004 which included: permitted new foundation, copper plumbing, updated electrical, new insulation, interior & exterior walls, and refinished floors. The foundation was reinforced to support a 2nd floor expansion. They also build a garage that was converted to a guest house with full bath and storage; permit status unknown for the conversion. The current owners continued the upgrades: they replaced the roof, added solar panels, and installed new central AC, heating, water heater and remodeled the primary bathroom. Outdoors, a large covered patio offers shaded relaxation. The backyard includes a large area for planting or enjoying the open space for family gatherings. Fruit bearing trees include apricot, olive, and lemon trees, plus aloe plants. The front of the home has a 90-year-old rose bush, a living nod to the home's rich history. Close by attractions include: Roosevelt Park, Williams Street Park, San Pedro Square and many small business and restaurants in the downtown area of San Jose.
