One single family house with an unpermitted triplex on a large 16,908 SF lot in San Jose. The property has two residential structures: a two bedroom, one bath house in the front and a 3-unit residential structure behind the house. The 3 unit structure is unpermitted and consists of three, one bedroom units. There is also a work shed and a storage shed located on the property. The two bedroom house is approximately 1,225 SF in size-per county records. There is also an unpermitted unit in the rear of the house. No records of when this was added exist. The age of the triplex in the rear is unknown, but has undergone renovations over the years and is in good condition. In 2024 the property had a number of repairs and capital improvements in order to keep future expenses down. The property is an ideal asset for the investor looking for a long-term hold asset currently generating revenue to use as a "land-bank" for future development potential. The parcel is zoned as Mixed-Use Residential Character Area in the West San Carlos Urban Village Plan. The area is currently undergoing a renaissance of development with new mixed use and residential projects in the pipeline. Indeed, San Jose has more than 20,000 residential units currently in various stages of the development pipeline.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
