Rare opportunity to rent a fully detached split-level home in Downtown San Jose. With no shared walls, two private bedroom suites, gated parking for two vehicles, and extensive recent renovations, this home offers a unique blend of privacy, flexibility, and convenience.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan features a bedroom, full bathroom, living room, and kitchen on the main level. Upstairs is a private bedroom and bathroom suite with its own separate exterior entrance, creating a level of privacy rarely found in a home of this size. It's an ideal setup for roommates, guests, or anyone who values separation between living spaces.
Recently renovated throughout, the home includes a brand-new kitchen with new cabinets, countertops, and appliances. The downstairs bathroom has been beautifully updated with a new shower, vanity, and tile finishes. Additional upgrades include new carpet on the stairs and throughout the upstairs level, while the downstairs features durable tile flooring.
Located within walking distance of San Jose State University and just minutes from Downtown San Jose's restaurants, entertainment, and major employers. Convenient access to Highway 280 makes commuting throughout Silicon Valley easy.
