    What's special

    This historic house is one of the few existing large Prairie-style homes designed by San Jose architect Frank Delos Wolfe, and is a San Jose City Landmark. It has original art glass windows, fixtures, and built-in cabinets, with a majestic 13-foot high living room showcasing a floor-to-ceiling fireplace. The original hardwood floors are in excellent condition. The kitchen and bathrooms have been tastefully remodeled. There are two bonus bathrooms in addition to the ones listed, bringing the total to four. One is in the 600+-square-foot basement (not included in the square footage), which contains a full bath, kitchenette, and lots of storage space. Neighborhood Description Central location close to all major freeways and Santana Row. Quiet and friendly neighborhood, lots of people walking their dogs or walking for exercise. Some historic homes mixed in with mid-century and newer -- this house was originally built on 12 acres of orchard and the land was parceled and sold off in the 50s, when most of the surrounding houses were built. More recently, newer homes have been added as well.
