Remarks

Unlock the potential of this 112 year old 2 bedroom home located just 2 blocks from Backesto Park on a tree lined street. It's been in the same family for decades. They're ready to turn it over to the next owner who can visualize doing some remodeling and making it their own home. Sizable partial basement is great for storage, workshop, or other personal use space. Redwood construction, and heavy duty hardwood floors which can be refinished. The bathroom and kitchen could very well be original. Close to freeways, shopping, and downtown San Jose. The garage adjacent to the house is falling down and is in need of removal or replacement. Great opportunity for contractors.
