California, Santa Clara County, San Jose, USA

Welcome to a rare gem blending century old charm with complete structural modernization. Built in 1910, this beautifully restored 3-bed, 2-bath home spans 1,518 sqft on a generous 7,450 sqft lot. Step inside from the historic facade into 10ft high ceilings and an open, airy layout. No detail was spared during the 2004 previous owner renovation: permitted new foundation, copper plumbing, updated electrical, new insulation, reframed interior/exterior walls, and refinished floors, all reinforced to support a future 2nd floor expansion. The garage was also added. The current owners continued the upgrades: replaced the roof, added solar panels, and installed new central AC, heating, and a water heater. A former garage addition houses a guest room with full bath, permit status unknown, ideal for multigenerational living, or an office. Outdoors, a large covered patio offers shaded relaxation and backyard gatherings. For gardeners, the grounds include fruit bearing 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. This property is truly special. Close by attractions include: Roosevelt Park, Williams Street Park, San Pedro Square and many small business and restaurants.
