About this home
Single Family · Built 1955
Single-story home in San Jose's Alum Rock foothills sits on a quiet residential street with hill views from the backyard. The kitchen was recently refreshed with quartz countertops and features hardwood floors throughout the main living areas. The roof was replaced two years ago, and the furnace and central air conditioning system were replaced four years ago, providing a solid mechanical foundation with years of remaining life. The backyard captures views of the surrounding foothills, a natural backdrop that defines this pocket of east San Jose. Alum Rock Park, one of California's oldest municipal parks, offers 720 acres of trails for hiking, cycling, and picnicking within minutes of the front door. Penitencia Creek County Park provides additional open space nearby. Convenient access to highways 680 and 101 connects to Silicon Valley's major employment corridors.
