COMING SOON | A Rare Opportunity in Historic Naglee Park

For the buyer who has been waiting for an opportunity to make Naglee Park home and create something truly their own, 430 S 13th Street offers a rare combination: a substantial 1910 residence, an approximately 9,525 sq. ft. lot (nearly ¼ acre) and an incredible setting in one of Downtown San Jose’s most sought-after historic neighborhoods.

This is a home where the next owner can move in, roll up their sleeves and continue the renovation and restoration over time. Previous improvements provide a head start, while plenty of opportunity remains for the next owner to shape the home around their own style, priorities, and vision.

The main level offers two functional bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The primary suite extends into a spacious sitting room, creating a wonderful private retreat with access to a side deck overlooking the expansive garden. The sitting room also connects to the primary bathroom and generous closet areas. The second en-suite bedroom has not yet been updated and offers a large walk-in closet, with its bathroom conveniently positioned to also serve visiting guests.

Upstairs, a generous bonus area provides additional space and beautiful sunset views from its own deck. This second-floor area is included within the home’s square footage as reflected in County records, while offering the next owner an opportunity to determine how the space can best complement the rest of the home. A spacious basement, not included in the home’s square footage, provides even more bonus and storage space with plenty of possibilities to explore.

Three separate decks create intimate outdoor nooks throughout the property. Enjoy sunsets from the upstairs deck, take in the garden from the deck adjoining the primary suite sitting room, or step outside from the family room onto a third deck facing the original barn and greenhouse. Each provides its own place to relax, while together they extend the home into the expansive yard and create wonderful possibilities when entertaining.

And the yard may be one of the biggest surprises.

The nearly ¼-acre lot creates an unexpected retreat in the heart of the city. Mature landscaping, fruit and redwood trees, raised garden areas and generous outdoor space offer room to garden, gather, entertain, or simply enjoy having your own private haven within Downtown San Jose.

For those who love to garden or dream of a little urban homesteading, a spacious greenhouse provides room to grow, while the recently renovated and currently unused chicken coop offers an established setup ready for its next flock. The original detached barn adds another layer of history, character, and possibility to this special setting.

Previous property improvements include foundation stabilization and partial seismic bolting, copper re-piping on the first floor, primary en-suite improvements, HVAC/heat-pump installation, and a newer roof. Additional hardwood flooring has also been purchased and is stored at the property for future use. A prepaid leased solar system with battery backup adds another valuable feature, with the agreement transferable to the new owner.

This is not a turnkey home, and for the right buyer, that is part of the opportunity. If you appreciate the character of an older residence and would rather create something personal than pay for someone else’s renovation choices, 430 S 13th Street deserves a closer look.

Live here while bringing your vision to life. Garden. Raise chickens. Entertain. Find your favorite deck for morning coffee or an evening sunset. Enjoy nearly a quarter acre of land in the heart of the city while thoughtfully restoring and reimagining a distinctive 1910 home in one of Downtown San Jose’s most treasured neighborhoods.

Coming soon. Your opportunity to experience 430 S 13th Street is just around the corner.
