Remarks

A Rare Find in an in an Ideal Neighborhood. This remarkable residence has quietly preserved many of the architectural details that define its era. Beneath its welcoming exterior lies a collection of original craftsmanship that has become increasingly difficult to find: beautifully preserved hardwood floors, original glass doorknobs, some rope-and-pulley sash windows, vintage push-button style light switches, and an original amber hallway light fixture that still welcomes visitors much as it did when first built. The kitchen remains true to its heritage while benefiting from updated appliances, allowing the home to retain its original soul. The fireplace, accented with its unique period tile, continues to serve as the centerpiece of the living room, while the partial basement reflects the thoughtful construction methods of its time. Located near the Rosicrucian Museum and within one of San Jose's treasured historic neighborhoods, this home offers something that cannot be recreatedgenuine architectural character earned through a century of careful stewardship.
