Property Description
Welcome to the "Jewel Box on the Corner" of Margaret Street! This charming early 1900s Queen Anne style home, in the heart of Downtown San Jose's Reed Historic District, has many stories to tell. From the inviting covered front porch to the timeless architectural details, this home beautifully blends historic character with modern comfort. Period features include high ceilings, picture rail moldings, charismatic wallpaper, gleaming hardwood floors, original windows, elegant double pocket doors, original tiled decorative fireplace, & a classic clawfoot soaking tub. Thoughtful updates provide for today's conveniences, including central heating, new insulation, recessed LED lighting, a walk-in shower, inside laundry, organized walk-in closets, sheetrock installed after removal of all lath & plaster walls, & a fully equipped kitchen highlighted by a farmhouse sink & rare 1927 Occidental working gas stove & oven. Enjoy an almost 500sf finished basement, which can serve as a bonus-rec. room, or turn it into a JADU with its own private entrance, fenced yard, & half bathroom with space to add a shower. The wrought iron gate & fenced garden add to the period charm, while a solar-operated electric gate provides secure off-street parking. This is your opportunity to own a piece of history!
