Take a look back at 1444 McKendrie Street, a previous listing in San Jose’s Rose Garden area. This Spanish Revival-style home combined distinctive architectural character with thoughtful updates, expanded living spaces and a backyard designed for enjoying the outdoors.

1444 McKendrie Street is a previous listing and is no longer being marketed for sale by Michelle Elliott.
Spanish Revival Character With Modern Updates
The home blended its Spanish Revival style with updates designed for modern living.
The kitchen featured quartz countertops with contrasting navy and white cabinetry, creating a fresh look while complementing the character of the home.
Throughout the property, the combination of original style and updated spaces gave the home a personality all its own.
A Primary Bedroom With Backyard Access
The primary bedroom overlooked the backyard and opened directly onto a private patio area.
Just outside was a hot tub, providing another connection between the home’s indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Flexible Lower-Level Living Space
The basement level offered additional flexibility, with a bedroom, bathroom and private exterior egress when the property was marketed.
This additional area could accommodate a variety of uses depending on an owner’s needs and applicable permitting and use requirements.
For properties with converted, expanded or below-grade spaces, buyers should always independently verify permits, square footage and allowable uses.
A Backyard Made for Outdoor Living
One of the standout features of 1444 McKendrie Street was its backyard.
Rather than one large open area, the yard included several distinct outdoor spaces, including a fire pit area, lawn, workshop and bar area.
The different spaces provided options for relaxing, entertaining, hobbies and simply enjoying San Jose’s outdoor lifestyle.
Additional Space in the ADU
The property also included an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), adding another flexible space to the property.
When marketed, the ADU provided an additional area that could potentially serve a variety of purposes depending on an owner’s needs and applicable requirements.
As with any ADU or converted space, current permits, approved uses and property details should be independently verified.
