Welcome to the hidden enclave of Hillcrest, one of San Jose's most desirable neighborhoods. Nestled beside one of the area's oldest country clubs and just below historic Alum Rock Park, this established community is known for its quiet, tree-lined streets, spacious lots, and timeless Spanish, Tudor, and Mid-Century homes.
This move-in ready home has been thoughtfully updated with a renovated kitchen and bathrooms, reverse osmosis water filtration, vinyl plank flooring, newer windows, updated electrical with a 200-amp panel, copper water lines, a new roof (2025), and a new HVAC system (2026).
The converted garage offers flexible ADU space for guests, extended family, or a home office while still retaining the ability to function as a one-car garage. Owned SOLAR with two Tesla Powerwall batteries provides energy efficiency and backup power.
Outside, enjoy a fully fenced front and backyard with automatic sprinklers, a long driveway with room for an RV and multiple vehicles, and plenty of space for entertaining, gardening, or raising chickens. A rare opportunity to own an updated home in one of San Jose's best-kept secret neighborhoods.
