102 S 12th Street

Majestic restored and updated 1903 Neo Classic Victorian home designed with Craftsman elements by renowned and loved architect of vintage homes. This exceptional home is listed on the Historic Register of San Jose and benefits from the Mills Act, dramatically reducing property taxes. Surrounded by mature landscaping and a welcoming front porch, the home has been thoughtfully restored while preserving its original character. Inside, stunning original stained woodwork highlights the craftsmanship throughout. The front sitting room is perfect for a home office or reading retreat, separated from the spacious living room by a windowed pocket door. The living room features a gas fireplace and a Turkish chandelier, creating a warm and elegant gathering space. Another set of pocket doors leads to the formal dining room with a built-in buffet. The open kitchen and family room serve as the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinetry, boxbeam ceiling, soapstone countertops, and an original Wedgewood two-oven stove. Douglas Fir flooring enhances the formal rooms, while newer solid wood flooring and recessed lighting complete the kitchen and family room. The backyard offers three areas for al fresco dining, a spa retreat, and a peaceful Zen space, plus a three-car garage with a new roof.
