About This Home
"As-Is" / Rebuild a Dream Home: This storied 1912 residence stands as a charming testament to San Jose’s heritage, nestled in the heart of the vibrant College Park Rose garden community.

Framed by redwood trees and cypress, this level parcel offers a rare opportunity for a visionary to breathe new life into a historic gem or to create a modern masterpiece from the ground up.
