    A Newly Remodeled Single-Story in Mission San Jose

    249 Imperio Ave — Living room with wood-burning fireplace
    249 Imperio Ave — Living room with wood-burning fireplace

    Tucked on a quiet Fremont street with a hillside view, 249 Imperio is the kind of listing that's hard to find in Mission San Jose: a single-story 4-bed on a 7,452 sq ft level lot, newly remodeled inside and out in April 2026, with no HOA and an A+ Mission San Jose High school assignment.

    Double doors open to a vaulted-ceiling foyer. The living room anchors around a wood-burning brick fireplace and picture windows. The kitchen has been reimagined with quartz counters, a decorative glass tile backsplash, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a glass cooktop, and a sunlit breakfast nook with pendant lights. The primary suite carries a walk-in closet, skylight, and custom-built wardrobe system. Both bathrooms have new modern lights, mirrors, and faucets.

    Out back, patio doors open to a pristine landscaped yard with a new sprinkler system, mature plantings, and the hillside as a backdrop.

    What's New in April 2026

    A full top-to-bottom refresh completed just weeks before this listing hit the market:

  1. Fresh interior and exterior paint
  2. New carpet throughout
  3. Updated appliances and fixtures
  4. New front and rear lawns with sprinkler system
  5. New designer light fixture in the formal dining room
  6. Quartz kitchen counters, decorative glass backsplash, white cabinetry
  7. New exhaust fan and glass cooktop
  8. Primary suite — walk-in closet, skylight, custom wardrobe system
  9. Bathrooms — new lights, mirrors, faucets; stall shower; updated finishes
  10. Recessed lighting, crown molding, laminate flooring
  11. Washer, dryer, and refrigerator included in the sale. Double-pane windows, window coverings, skylights, and screened windows throughout. Two-car attached garage with garage door opener, 220V power, and in-garage laundry with sink.

    At 1.25 months of inventory with 105.2% average sale-to-list, 94539 remains a seller's corridor — and 249 Imperio is priced *below* the March median sold price.

    Why $2,400,000 Is a Fair Ask

    249 Imperio is listed at $1,347 per square foot. To see how that compares, here are the five closest recently closed comps in 94539 — Mission San Jose and Mission-area single-family homes closed in April 2026. These are MLS-verified closed sales, not estimates.

    The Takeaway

    The nearest apples-to-apples comp is 43075 Gallegos Ave — three blocks away in the same Mission San Jose school zone. It's a 3-bed / 2-bath, 1,682 sq ft home from 1963. It closed April 17, 2026 for $2,300,000 at $1,367/sq ft — 15.64% over list — with nine days on market.

    249 Imperio offers one more bedroom, 100 more square feet, a newer 1975 build, a larger 7,452 sq ft level lot, and a full April 2026 remodel — all at $1,347/sq ft, a touch *below* Gallegos's closed $/sq ft. The 42170 Camino Santa Barbara comp that closed under list stayed 38 days on market — the cautionary tale on what happens when condition doesn't match the ask. 249 Imperio's fresh-remodel + listing-on-day-one strategy is the other path.
