PLEASE NOTE: We are currently processing the first group of potential renters that have done personal or virtual tours with us. We are happy to place your name on a waiting list or answer any questions, but we will not be hosting more tours until we process our first group. Move in date first week of June 1, 2022. Details: A 4.2 acre paradise for your family with one of the best views in the Valley, a pool with a great deck for barbecues, plenty of parking, basketball hoop, chicken coop (if you are adventurous), and a large potential garden (if desired). House is remarkably secluded, yet minutes from all the shopping and dining of Los Gatos, and approximately a 1.1 mile walk to Los Gatos High School. Known as the Yung See San Fong property, it is listed in the National Archives as Historic Registered Place.) Details: You will be living on part of the 4.2 acre Yung See San Fong estate--registered by the US Government as a National Historical Place, described on Wikipedia. and featured in the 1918 Sunset magazine as a key Property of the West. The house is a Kohlsatt custom design, with an open floor plan on the top floor with a massive row of windows that cover the north side of the house to highlight the forever views. The downstairs features two generous bedrooms with shared full bathroom, and the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk in closet. Porches allows sunsets and evenings that you will remember for a life time. The outdoor pool has been a popular place for our tenant's children and friends to come visit and play during the hot Los Gatos summers, and the single car garage is high enough to install a lift to store your collector car, and store your daily commuter underneath. Excluding garage space, there is parking for 2-3 cars immediately and possible trailer parking. For over 20 years, this house has heard the happy delighted screams of children as they explored the many corners of the massive property, played tag in the gardens, gorged on the abundant figs from the property's fig tree, or sat under the majestic 200 year old Live Oak Trees that cover the property. The estate was formed 100 years ago, and shares the property with two other houses including the historic home of author Ruth Comfort Mitchell Young and her state senator husband, Senator Sanborn Young. The rental is nicknamed "The Barn," due to being built on the historic site of the Youngs's historic barn. However, what was once the housing for the horses, can now be your resting place. For those times when your in-laws or relatives want to visit, the main house on property has additional 320 square foot, outside entry bed room with en-suite bath and sitting area that is rentable for tenants of the property. Originally created for the Senator's mother, the room is the perfect place for your visiting relatives. Our tenants have had their family stay from 1 night to up to 3 weeks, and they have told us that this room has been a wonderful way to share the property and their lives with the ones they love. Pets can be negotiated for a reasonable fee and additional deposit, but must be interviewed by the rest of the residents, and kept on a lease due to the amount of wildlife on the property. Sadly, our current renters have outgrown the place with their 3 children, and are constructing a new house that they will move into. We will be in the process of professionally removing and epoxy coating the current cabinets to create a white kitchen (on advice of the current renters). Other changes to color schemes or painting can be negotiated for additional fee. Property is flush with wildlife, and features "One Horn" the buck, a flock of 20 wild turkeys, and a non-aggressive skunk couple, that only comes out at night time. Sadly, the Silver Tailed Fox couple that had lived her for the last 5 years have moved out recently because the male was hit on the local road. In this light, if you have a dog, keeping them leashed is good solid advice. Last time this house was listed, we never got to the first show date as we had multiple people state that they wanted to rent the property simply based on the pictures, descriptions, and answers to their particular questions. We encourage you to ask us anything about the house or local area. We consider our tenants not as simply renters, but as friends that contribute to maintaining this special place.
