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.
