526 Madera Avenue

Calling all contractors and investors! This 1,160 sq ft home in San Jose is priced for someone ready to roll up their sleeves and unlock its full potential. Featuring 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, this property offers a solid layout with a separate dining area and family room great bones for a strategic renovation or floor plan reconfiguration. Character details include a dual gas-burning and wood-burning fireplace, a rare feature worth preserving or restoring as a centerpiece.

Located within the desirable San Jose Unified Elementary School District, this home is well-suited for a value-add renovation, flip, or rental repositioning project. Sold as-is bring your contractor and your vision.
