About this home

Own a piece of San Jose history with this beautifully restored Victorian residence, originally built in 1890 and historically recognized as the Chiappe Residence. Located within the prestigious Lakehouse Historic District, this rare home seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with modern luxury. Completely remodeled throughout, it showcases soaring ceilings, elegant period details, a formal living room, an expansive chef's kitchen, and two beautifully renovated bathrooms. Original architectural elements have been thoughtfully preserved, creating a seamless balance between historic charm and contemporary comfort. The property also features a large detached garage with a spacious studio above, presenting an outstanding opportunity for potential ADU conversion to create additional living space or rental income (buyer to verify). Enjoy a private backyard retreat just steps from the newly created and evolving Creekside Socials, featuring vibrant outdoor gathering and entertainment spaces, while remaining moments from Diridon Station, SAP Center, San Pedro Square, premier dining, shopping, and major commuter routes. A truly rare opportunity to own one of San Jose's most distinguished historic residences. Timeless craftsmanship, modern luxury, and history unlike any other.
