Great development opportunity, nearly 1.5 acres ideally situated next to light rail, commercial property on one side and residential on the other. Light rail runs along Capitol with 2 stops nearby, great commute location. Starbucks is one block away with plenty of restaurants and retail nearby. East Side Union school district, Berryessa Union elementary school district.
Zoned R 1-8. Many possibilities. The San Jose planning department told me that “The minimum lot size for the R-1-8 Zone is 5,445 SF. So yes, 1207 N Capitol Ave is able to be subdivided.” It may be possible to change zoning and build mixed use development, commercial, or other uses however we cannot make any guarantees for City approval – buyer to investigate options with the City of San Jose.
The house, built in 2005, is 2 story and 5627 SF with 5 bedrooms, 5 baths, 3 car garage. Interior features hardwood floors, plantation shutters, island kitchen with granite counters & maple cabinets, high end stainless steel appliances, a butler pantry with wine fridge, and on and on. (Currently boarded up, some work in process.)
No inspection reports are available on the house or well – the value is primarily in the land.
Buyer to investigate the development options, whether subdividing or re-zoning for mixed use, condos, etc.
Seller recently inherited the property and disclosures will be done in a week or so.
The inner fence is on a 6 month lease.
